TPF is undertaking ambitious infrastructure projects in India

TPF CEO Thomas Spitaels has returned to Belgium after a ten-day visit to India.

His trip began with a first stop at the Mumbai headquarters of TPF Engineering Pvt Ltd before traveling to the regional offices in Pune and Goa. He met with CEO Dr. Atul Bhobe and attended meetings with the management team, projects managers and department heads. It was a good opportunity to review the new projects and ongoing work and to discuss prospects for the future.

Concluding his India tour, Thomas Spitaels visited C.E. Testing Co Pvt. Ltd, our subsidiary located in Kolkata. He met with Chairman Dr. Madhusudan Nayak  and Managing Director Anirban Nayak and its team.

During his stay in India, he had the pleasure of doing site visits that  allowed him to be made more aware of the importance of the projects, understand the technical challenges, and observe the progress of the work. All these fives projects demonstrate TPF’s ability to manage and supervise large-scale and complex infrastructure projects.
