Combining mainstream's global organization and renewable assets with Aker's 180-year track record of building and developing industrial companies is another step in line with our long-term strategy for value creation and to position Aker Horizons for significant and sustainable growth in renewable energy markets,” said Øyvind Eriksen, President and CEO of Aker ASA and Chairman of Aker Horizons.
