Infosys Expands Engineering Services Footprint to Support Ansaldo Energia

establishes new engineering delivery centers in Croatia and Russia

Bangalore – September 14

Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in consulting, technology and next-generation services, today announced an agreement to provide engineering services to Ansaldo Energia, a producer of thermoelectric power plants. To support Ansaldo Energia, Infosys will expand its global service delivery network into Eastern Europe and Russia’s established heavy engineering sector by creating two development centers – in Karlovac in Croatia and Moscow in Russia.

Ansaldo Energia supports public and private sector power producers with a range of plant engineering, manufacturing and service activities.

Infosys will deliver research and development service delivery and capabilities, along with engineering services to the enlarged Ansaldo Energia business.

The new Infosys facilities in the two countries will have an initial combined capacity of up to 180 seats and operate as centers of excellence for engineering skills in turbo machinery, aerospace and automotive. As well as supporting Ansaldo Energia, the centers will support a wide roster of engineering clients. The new centers will initially be staffed by engineers that bring to Infosys extensive experience previously gained while they were part of Alstom.

Croatia and Russia possess a wealth of heavy engineering skills, enabling the delivery of essential support services to sectors including energy generation, transportation and exploration.
