São Paulo, Brazil & Tokyo, Japan - October 16, 2015 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced its selection by the Onda Azul consortium, formed by the Zadar and Engetecnica construction companies, to implement and integrate a wide range of systems for the aquatics center under construction in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
