ARCADIS EXPANDS ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES TO SWITZERLAND
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), a leading international consultancy, design,
engineering and management services company, today announced that it has
acquired BMG Engineering AG (BMG), an environmental services company based in
Zurich, Switzerland. BMG has almost 50 employees, gross revenues of ?8 million
and net revenues of ?7 million. ARCADIS acquires the shares from management who
will all stay with the business. BMG has a good track record of profitable
growth. Further financial details were not disclosed.
BMG was established in 1989 as a spin-off from a major Swiss chemical company to
specialize in environmental remediation projects. In addition the company
provides consultancy services in energy efficiency and environmental stewardship
(REACH). BMG predominantly works for private sector clients and has strong
client relationships with some of the major Swiss multinational chemical and
pharmaceutical companies. ARCADIS has successfully worked together with BMG on
environmental projects over the last 5 years.
ARCADIS Executive Board member Friedrich Schneider said: "Our goal is to be the
leading environmental services provider in the world and with the acquisition of
BMG we create a strong platform for growth in the attractive Swiss environmental
market. We believe our highly developed environmental technology further
strengthens the market position of BMG. In addition, we get direct access to
major multinational clients in the chemical and pharmaceutical fields which can
lead to work outside of Switzerland."
André Bachmann Chairman of the board of BMG said: "We have ample experience in
working with ARCADIS in the environmental field and were always impressed by
their solutions to which we now will have direct access. I believe this step
will strongly benefit our market position and will allow us to be involved in
larger, more complex projects. In addition, I believe that this will also
provide further development opportunities for our staff."
