Sector of Safety Systems and Services throughout Europe |
terug... |
Bad Mergentheim, March 2003. BARTEC Safety Technology successfully banks on expansion. With the take-over of business sectors
of Benke Instrument & Elektro GmbH in Rheinbek/Hamburg, the BARTEC Group is developing into the leading European supplier of
full scope solutions in the field of safety technology. Confidentiality has been agreed with regard to the purchase price.
The new sector of business, seated in Reinbek/Hamburg yields a turnover of 36 million EURO with its 270 employees. "The business
sectors of both partners complement each other outstandingly. Due to this merger, we can offer our customers, especially in the
oil- and gas industry, chemical industry and petrochemical industry as well as the pharmaceutical industry all-embracing security
engineering system solutions, from the planning through the installation, taking into operation and maintenance phases via one source"
stated Reinhold A. Barlian, founder and managing partner of BARTEC.
BARTEC is a European leading provider of safety technology in the working fields of explosive-, firedamp-, environmental-, radiation-
and media protection. The products are predominantly employed in machine- and apparatus engineering, in plant construction, in the
chemical, petrochemical sectors, the oil- and gas sectors as well as in mining, in environmental protection and in the generation
of power. The BARTEC Group is represented in more than 50 countries and after the merger, yields a turnover of 160 million EURO
with 1.200 employees.
BENKE has specialized in the development and manufacture, the engineering and service of systems for analytical technology as well
as for the electrical-, measurement and control engineering, especially in the oil, petrochemical and chemical sectors.
"We are confident that the new business sector BARTEC BENKE in Reinbek/Hamburg will develop above average with systems and services
in the sector of safety technology within the next couple of years" said Mr. Barlian. "Our joint competence, especially concerning
the conversion of the new EC guidelines (ATEX) for operators of process plants, our international profile and not least of all,
the widespread customer base are prerequisites in this regard."
The Allianz Capital Partners (ACP), the private equity company of the Allianz Group has been majority shareholder of BARTEC since
June 2002 with a share of 75 percent. Due to the acquisition of BENKE, ACP considers itself reinforced in its investment strategy.
"Jointly with BENKE, BARTEC is even better equipped to profit from the internationalising of security engineering", said Heinz
Haller, Managing Director of ACP. "Our engagement has developed very successfully in the last year. The basis for a further above
average growth has been laid."
