Key selected events in 2011
Following the acquisition of Indian company Neo Structo based in Surat, the BIS Group has entered this dynamic market of the future. With 1,600 employees and annual revenues of € 60 million, Neo Structo is one of the fast-growing providers of maintenance, fabrication and installation services for assets in the process industry. The acquisition of UK company ATG and German company Alpha Mess-Steuer-Regeltechnik extended capacity for process instrumentation and control, which plays a key role for process facilities.
Further master contracts were signed for the maintenance of offshore rigs operated by UK companies, thus extending the Group's leading position in industrial services for the North Sea oil and gas sector. The BIS Group handles the maintenance of numerous offshore production and processing facilities as well as refineries and gas liquefaction plants in Europe and North America.
In addition, it was awarded a contract for a major project in the Texan oil and gas sector, entailing the engineering, production and assembly of five pumping stations and storage tanks for a new pipeline to tap the major Eagle Ford Shale oil and gas field.
