Technical services provider Royal 769 Imtech takes a further step in its previously announced debt reduction program with the announcement of its intention to divest its ICT division.

As announced on 18 March 2014, Imtech continues to be focused on achieving a long term sustainable capital structure and is committed to reduce indebtedness by at least US$554 million. To realise this debt reduction, Imtech will continue to review all options.

The ICT division will be divested through an auction process in order to optimize the transaction value in the best interest of all stakeholders.

In 2013, the revenue of the ICT division amounted to US$1.025 billion with an operational EBITDA of US$51 million. The ICT division employs 2,380 staff and has strong partnerships with worldwide technology leaders such as 1028 Cisco, 62 IBM, 2214 Microsoft, Juniper and 7352 SAP. Its strategy is built on five key portfolio offerings: cloud solutions, managed services, business analysis, collaboration solutions and business solutions. Imtech ICT provides services to approximately 7,000 customers in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, the UK and the Philippines.

Imtech stresses that the divesture of the ICT division will not have an impact on the value proposition for its customers. Automation expertise and know-how in the field of amongst others building automation, infrastructure automation, telecommunication, industrial automation and technical automation are an integral part of the offered value proposition of the other Imtech divisions.
