Royal IHC launches IHC IQIP
Royal IHC (IHC) has integrated four of
its business units – IHC Hydrohammer, IHC Handling Systems, IHC Sea Steel
and IHC Fundex Equipment – into one new organization, which will operate
under the name IHC IQIP.
Through this merger, IHC is taking the next step in offering a fully integrated
solution for on- and offshore installation, foundation and decommissioning
to customers in the oil and gas, offshore wind, and coastal and civil markets.
Bram Roelse, CEO at IHC, says: "Many of our customers are already
working with one or more of the four IHC business units now integrated
under the IHC IQIP umbrella. This merger was the next logical step in our
desire to quickly respond to clients' requirements. In this way we further
strengthen this vital part of our activities and create room for further
growth. IHC IQIP will continue to contribute substantially to IHC's overall
proposition for its onshore and offshore customers.".
The markets in which IHC IQIP operates are developing rapidly. To maintain
the profitability of their operations, companies in the oil and gas, offshore
wind, and coastal and civil markets are increasingly looking for ways to
lower their costs, decrease risks and maximise project efficiency. This
has led to a growing demand for integrated solutions.
Jan Albert Westerbeek, Executive Director of IHC IQIP, says: “By combining
all of our experience and expertise, as a market leader, we are able to
offer an innovative and complete range of equipment and services. Approaching
the market as one organisation means our customers will only have to deal
with one point of contact, which benefits their project management and
efficiency.”
All four IHC business units have already proved their capabilities on a
global scale. IHC Hydrohammer designs, builds and supplies hydraulic piling
hammers. IHC Handling Systems develops and supplies offshore installation
and removal equipment. IHC Sea Steel supplies a wide range of subsea installation
and positioning frames. IHC FUNDEX Equipment designs, manufactures and
delivers multifunctional foundation rigs all over the world.
