In Schwechat BIS employees from several countries worked on the turnaround of a polyolefin production factory, working on more than 70,000 tasks: We have access to extensive resources via the various Group companies. This makes us an attractive partner for our customers as we are able to provide all services under a single roof. “In this way, we can offer our customers high added value by avoiding unnecessary interfaces,” underlined Gerald Pilotto, managing director of BIS Chemserv and executive vice-president of the BIS Group’s Central Europe Division. Schwechat generated a total volume of around € 30 million, , of which the BIS Group was responsible for some EUR 15 million, company officials say.
