Shannon-based engineering services firm Mincon eyes growth after €8m acquisition

Shannon-based engineering services group Mincon is eyeing further expansion into the specialist area of geotechnical engineering on the back of its €8m acquisition of Finnish company Lehti.
Mincon - which traditionally makes drilling equipment for the mining and exploration sectors - is already active in the area, which studies rock and soil mechanics and can mitigate damage caused by natural hazards like landslides, volcanoes and avalanches, on engineering projects.
