(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Gouda - Imtech N.V. (IM-AE, technical services provider in Europe) announces the
acquisition of Dutch medical equipment specialist, Medrott. The acquisition will
be implemented from January 1, 2012. Medrott has 20 employees and realises

marks the start of an Imtech response to the technological challenges of the
healthcare of tomorrow.
René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech: 'Imtech is one of the larger European
technical players in the care & cure market. This market accounts for
approximately 4% of Imtech's total 4.5 billion euro revenue. Imtech
distinguishes itself as an implementation and maintenance partner for complex
technical infrastructure with an emphasis on energy, ICT, electrical solutions
and innovative air and climate solutions. Pooling this with knowledge of medical
equipment makes it possible to offer total solutions, enabling Imtech to better
serve Dutch hospitals and care organisations. This will lead to extra growth and
at the same time, this pooling of technical competences makes it possible for
Imtech to fulfil a leading role in the healthcare of tomorrow.'
Medrott's profile
Medrott was established in 1996 and has offices in Brielle in the Netherlands
and Zaventem in Belgium. The company is the leading technology specialist in the
growing market of medical equipment in the Benelux. Medrott specializes in
sales, management and maintenance of sensitive and high quality medical
equipment. Medrott is also a medical technical services provider for corrective
and preventive services for this equipment on site, but also in workplaces. In
addition Medrott is active with inventories of medical equipment, advice and
consultancy as well as the complete management (total care) of medical equipment
for customers. For companies Medrott also offers third party technical services.
The company represented exclusive brands like Barkey, Weyer, Stephan, IMT
Medical, Medicop, Precision Medical and Carnet Medical. Specialist areas include
neonatology, neonatal, respiratory, obstetrics, ICU's, operating theaters, and
precision measurement equipment, for instance medical gases. In the Benelux
Medrott works for 220 hospitals and care institutions, as for various companies
and ambulance services. Under Imtech's strong financial wings, Medrott will be
able to develop itself further excellently.
Cooperation leads to strong growth
Imtech is a strong partner in the care & cure market in the Benelux and offers
total solutions for new, mainly complex technical infrastructures. This includes
power stations, energy-saving, climate control, electrical solutions, access
control, fire safety and nurse call systems etc. In addition, Imtech offers
specific technological solutions in operating theatres, intensive care and
complex treatment rooms. Imtech is also a strong technological maintenance
partner. Furthermore, Imtech is a strong player in the ICT market in care and
cure, with specific software, ICT infrastructure, business intelligence, and
cloud computing and data centre technology. In total Imtech works in almost 150
hospitals and care organisations in the Benelux. The combination of technical
infrastructure, ICT and technology in and around technical equipment, will make
it possible to offer total solutions to healthcare organisations. With this,
Imtech is anticipating the trend that technology will become more important in
the care & cure market. This market is, after all, facing the challenge of
working more efficiently and cheaper in response to the ageing population's
increased demand for healthcare. In addition, demand is increasing for technical
quality that satisfies the strictest standards for hygiene and safety.
Integration of all technological solutions forms Imtech's answer to this
problem.
Spanish experience proves that the Imtech approach works
More than a year ago, Imtech acquired the Spanish medical equipment specialist,
Medical Engineering. Integration of this company with Imtech's technical
solutions in the Spanish care & cure market has already proven that strong extra
growth can be realised. Imtech also aims to introduce this approach in other
countries. The combination of technical infrastructure, and implementation and
maintenance of electrical medical apparatus and equipment, has made it possible
to offer total solutions to hospitals and care institutions and to realise cross
selling.
The future of technology in healthcare
In the care & cure market, home care and healthcare are the growth markets of
the future. Cost savings together with improved healthcare are only possible if
first and second line healthcare work together perfectly. Integration of
technological equipment and ICT technology, for example domotics, robotics and
partly virtual, remote healthcare is only possible through technological
integration of all technical solutions using the available medical equipment.
Combining technological competences makes this 'healthcare of tomorrow'
possible. Imtech aims to fulfil a leading role in this.
