Elmateriel AB business unit of Imtech Nordic - to Ahlsell Sweden (Ahlsell
Sverige AB).
René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech: ´Selling of our Swedish technical wholesale
activities allows us to fully concentrate on our core business of technical
services providing in Sweden, Norway and Finland. We are in this region on the
eve of an integration of the electrical activities of NEA with the mechanical
activities of NVS. Together, these companies in 2012 will continue as Imtech
Nordic with the aim of delivering complete multidisciplinary technical services
to its more than 2,000 customers. Goal is to achieve higher added value for
these customers by cross-selling and to increase both revenue and profitability.
In this framework we are also looking for further acquisitions.´
Selling technical wholesale activities
Imtech has a 100% interest in in the business unit NEA Elmateriel, which was
obtained with the acquisition of NEA (Närkes Elektriska AB) in June 2010.

are now being deconsolidated. Accession of NEA Elmateriel to Ahlsell Sweden
makes it possible to significantly strengthen Ahlsell´s market position in
Sweden, while maintaining the employment of employees of NEA Elmateriel. At the
same time a purchase agreement between Imtech Nordic (for both the electrical
services activities of NEA and the mechanical activities of NVS) and Ahlsell has
been agreed that Imtech for a period of 5 years can make use of favourable
conditions for the complete delivery palette of Ahlsell.
