Tractebel Continues Shopping Tour

Only a few weeks after the takeover of Overdick, Tractebel acquires a stake in Deutsche Offshore Consult through its subsidiary Lahmeyer International and further expands its expertise in the offshore wind sector.

Tractebel is an engineering and consulting company for energy, water and infrastructure with a turnover of € 675 million. To date, the company is active in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Through the acquisition of DOC, Tractebel gains a high degree of implementation competence for demanding offshore wind projects.

Deutsche Offshore Consult (DOC) has extensive project experience in all phases of implementing an offshore wind project. The company's engineers, geographers, logisticians and offshore experts look after important main and crucial sub works. The expertise will now complement Tractebel's existing range of services: A project can now be supported in all phases, from planning and engineering to operational implementation and management.

Olivier Biancarelli, CEO of Tractebel, emphasised: "DOC is the second acquisition made by Tractebel in the offshore segment within just a few weeks. This demonstrates that we are rigorously pursuing our growth strategy to become the leader in offshore wind engineering and a global player in the energy transition.”
