ICSI & Bilfinger Berger Partnership

Innovative Conveying Systems International Limited (ICSI) is pleased to announce the signing of a partnering agreement with Bilfinger Berger Services (Australia) Pty Limited with the express purpose of jointly identifying, pursuing and constructing projects utilising the Innovative Conveying System (ICS) technology, initially for the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Bilfinger Berger Australia is part of the international construction services company, Bilfinger Berger AG. Through its subsidiaries (Abigroup, Baulderstone Hornibrook and Bilfinger Berger Services) Bilfinger Berger Australia is one of the country’s leading engineering, construction and asset management groups. Employing over 5,000 staff in Australia, the company has delivered some of Australia’s major infrastructure and engineering projects with a turnover of AUD$3.7 billion in 2007.

Michael Pietsch, Managing Director of ICSI said, “The partnering agreement is a major step forward for ICSI. Bilfinger Berger has a rich history dating back 125 years, so they have a comprehensive pool of knowledge and experience in material handling projects. This will accelerate the adoption of our belt systems by utilising their company’s extensive presence and considerable project execution capabilities throughout the Australasian region and beyond. Our clients will be provided with a level of service we just couldn’t match on our own at this stage.”

“We believe”, Mr Pietsch continued, “that the ICS will provide Bilfinger Berger and their clients with the option of a unique and superior conveying solution, capable of conveying a wide range of material in the most demanding of applications in a safe, efficient and environmentally sound manner”.

The parties have identified a number of significant projects for collaboration and are excited at the potential.
