Dutch international heavy lift contractor Mammoet and the Belgian based heavy lift and transport group Aertssen have entered into a strategic partnership in Qatar.
The two companies will join forces in the country in order to meet the growing demand in the energy and infrastructure sectors, which are subject to a massive inflow of investment.
The Mammoet-Aertssen alliance will see the two companies collaborate and pool their individual strengths and capabilities in order to provide a ‘one stop shop’ service for projects from logistics and installation solutions to heavy lift equipment in order to win a larger share of the available business.

Based in Abu Dhabi, with an office in Qatar, the business specialises in heavy lifting and transport covering throughout the region.
