Rosenxt’s strategic expansion into the UK market
Swiss technology and engineering firm Rosenxt is set to establish its first office in the UK, located in the vibrant city of Aberdeen. This move is not only a significant milestone for the company but also a promising development for the local economy, particularly in the engineering sector.
With high-quality engineering jobs already being advertised, including positions for structural engineers, the opening of this office is expected to create numerous employment opportunities and attract skilled professionals to the area.
Location and facilities of the new office
The new office will be situated at Union Point, a prominent location at Blaikie’s Quay, and is anticipated to open its doors this summer.
The 1,369 square foot office space is currently undergoing renovations by the Standard Real Estate (SRE) Group, which has been instrumental in revitalizing the city’s infrastructure. The building itself is a modern 11-storey structure that has recently undergone extensive refurbishment, making it an attractive workspace for Rosenxt and its employees.
Impact on the local engineering landscape
Rosenxt’s presence in Aberdeen highlights the city’s growing appeal to the engineering sector, particularly in areas related to critical infrastructure and offshore operations. The firm specializes in subsea and offshore structures, industrial manufacturing, and waterline infrastructures, which are crucial for the region’s economy. Additionally, the current tenant of Union Point, Aurora Offshore, is also expanding its operations by moving to a larger office space at the Merchant Exchange. This expansion reflects a broader trend of growth and investment in Aberdeen’s engineering and offshore industries.
Commitment to revitalizing Aberdeen’s commercial spaces
John Grewar, the letting manager for SRE Group, emphasized the importance of Rosenxt’s launch in Aberdeen, stating that it underscores the city’s ongoing attractiveness to engineering firms. He also noted Aurora Offshore’s commitment to the region through its expansion, which further solidifies Aberdeen’s status as a hub for high-end offshore vessel provision. The SRE Group has invested approximately £2 million in revitalizing Union Point, showcasing their dedication to enhancing the commercial landscape of Aberdeen.
Future prospects for Aberdeen’s engineering sector
With the establishment of Rosenxt’s UK office and the expansion of existing firms like Aurora Offshore, Aberdeen is poised for a resurgence in engineering and technology jobs. The revitalization of commercial spaces and the influx of new businesses are expected to breathe new life into the local economy, fostering innovation and growth. As the city continues to attract high-quality firms, it is likely to become a leading destination for engineering talent and investment in the UK.
