New managing director for Imtech Marine

The appointment of Mr Pipoli, who has built extensive experience and knowledge in the company General Electric (GE), is an important step in realising the global ambitions of Imtech Marine and more specifically, the Asia region. The Imtech Marine office in Singapore (formally Radio Holland) has grown to be one of the strategic multi-services and outfitting centres in the Imtech Marine network.

In January 2010, Imtech Marine announced its new 2011 to 2015 growth strategy which stated that growth would be achieved by organic growth and by means of acquisitions. Imtech Marine’s strategy is based on a number of strategic priorities, including life cycle partnership with its customers worldwide; strengthening the global organisation and service network, and innovation through green technology and integrated ship automation.

Imtech Marine has set several major steps in growth towards 2015 including opening offices in China, Spain, France and Morocco, concluding the acquisition of the Canadian company Techsol and supplying a number of green ship and automation solution to projects. Examples are the recently completed innovative new-build vessel projects in Singapore; Rockpiper for a subsidiary of Royal Boskalis Westminster NV and Flintstone for Tideway, part of the DEME Group. The ships will operate in the oil and gas market.

NOTE: Mr Pipoli wishes readers to be informed that his association with Imtech was terminated in 2014.
