Success in the American industrial services sector

The engineering and services group Bilfinger has won two major orders in the American industrial services sector with a total volume of €600 million.

The Group has extended a framework agreement with a longstanding major client in the consumer goods industry by four years. Thus, in future, Bilfinger retains responsibility for the maintenance and modernization of production facilities at more than a dozen locations in the United States. The company's scope of activities ranges from maintenance and repairs through to major inspections as well as the design, construction and commissioning of new facilities.

Bilfinger was commissioned with the expansion of the production capacities for liquid gas at locations in three American states by another client, which is a major player in the midstream oil and gas industry.

Bilfinger is the largest German provider of maintenance services for industrial facilities and has by far the largest share of international business among providers in this sector. About 80 percent of the output volume of €3.7 billion generated in the Industrial business segment in 2014 came from international markets. With an annual volume of about €700 million, the United States is an important cornerstone for Bilfinger in this business.
