Gouda - Imtech (technical services provider in Europe) announces that it has recently signed contracts worth more than 30 million euro in technical maintenance. These contracts concern various long-term maintenance contracts in the Netherlands, in particular at TNT Post, Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Amsterdam, as well as at the Anheuser-Busch InBev brewery in Belgium.

René van der Bruggen, Imtech CEO: ‘The negotiations surrounding a number of these contracts have been in progress for quite some time, but were subject to postponement because of the economic crisis. We are now noticing increasing confidence in the market. Moreover, technical maintenance activities cannot be delayed for too long because this excessively disrupts clients’ primary and secondary processes. All of these considerations have led to various long-term maintenance orders. Energy savings make up an integral part of these.’

Long-term maintenance contracts
The maintenance contract at TNT Post (postal delivery services) is the first technical maintenance contract in the Netherlands in which energy savings have been integrally incorporated. The aim is to provide fully guaranteed functioning technical facilities in all of TNT Post’s 210 post distribution locations in the Netherlands, in order to guarantee not only an undisturbed primary process, but also to save a substantial amount of energy. TNT Parcel Services and TNT Express will also make use of this contract. Imtech is responsible for an optimum ratio of preventive and corrective maintenance. Imtech’s performance will be measured using various KPIs - Key Performance Indicators. The contract has a minimum term of five years.

At Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands (which has more than 7,500 students spread over a few buildings), a mechanical maintenance results contract has been signed. This contract has an expected term of ten years with an interim evaluation after five years, at which time Imtech will be evaluated on technical and process-related innovation, among other things. Energy savings are an integral part of the contract.

For the University of Amsterdam, at the ‘Binnenstad’ and ‘Roeterseiland’ locations, Imtech will provide the multidisciplinary technical maintenance of all technical solutions for the coming ten years. This also concerns a combination of preventive and corrective maintenance.

For Anheuser-Busch InBev, the largest beer brewer in the world, Imtech has acquired the expansion of an existing maintenance contract, for the maintenance of air and climate technology in various breweries in Belgium. Imtech will also carry out a number of maintenance assignments - within an existing framework agreement for technical maintenance and management - in several buildings in Leuven.
