Symeon Kassianides, Hyperion group chairman and CEO, added: “Our goal is to create a regional engineering and services powerhouse that brings together Saipem’s extensive and valuable experience with Hyperion’s many years of successful experience in advanced solutions and specialized engineering.

“This is also a material step forward in strengthening the position of Cyprus as an East Mediterranean engineering and services hub”.
