TAIM-TFG boosts international profile

TAIM-TFG, based in Zaragoza, Aragón, says the move will allow it to increase its turnover by 20%, reinforce its market presence in Central European countries and increase its technological capacity. It acquired 100% of Weser, until then a subsidiary of Spanish naval construction group Izar, after a lengthy approval process.

Weser is an industrial plant construction company based in Bad Öyenhausen in Nordrhein Westphalia and with a branch in the south of Germany at Saar Louis in the Saarland. It employs 39 people, more than half of whom are engineers, and trades worldwide in a number of industrial sectors. It has a current project portfolio worth more than €20m running until 2008 and bids in the negotiating phase amounting to a further €90m.

Bulk solids handling is Weser’s main activity, but the company is also active in the mining, iron and steel, cement, power and environmental sectors. The merger with TAIM-TFG brings together technologies that complement each other in different sectors, particularly in the areas of materials handling and urban solid waste treatment.
