Gouda, the Netherlands - Imtech N.V. (IM-AE, technical services provider in and outside Europe) announces that it has acquired the Norwegian company Steinar Holbæk.

With almost 40 employees Steinar Holbæk realises annual revenue of almost 4 million euro. The acquisition will be paid in cash and will directly contribute to the earnings per share.

Cooperation between the acquired company and other Imtech companies in Norway will make it possible to offer a broad service package to customers. This will lead to further future growth. This small acquisition fits within our strategic growth plan 2015, to strengthen and further expand our position in the Nordic region, including Norway.'
