The factory is located in Tampere, Finland and the company employs about 230 people. A new reactor manufacturing plant was opened in 2005 and the company received the Finnish Internationalization Award in that year. AREVA’s Transmission and Distribution division has signed an agreement with the Finnish company, Nokian Capacitors Ltd, to acquire its activities. The operation is of strategic importance for AREVA as it will reinforce its position on the growing ultra high-voltage market. With 2006 sales of 51 million euros, the company currently has 290 employees and is represented in 70 countries at the time of the buyout. Capacitors are components used in High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) schemes and Flexible Alternative Current Transmission Systems (FACTS). HVDC and FACTS both help reduce CO2 emissions by respectively minimizing power losses and ensuring the balance and efficiency of high-voltage transmission networks. They also facilitate the connection of renewable energy sources into the power network. External links
