Heijmans and Fulton Hogan have formed a strategic alliance to share products and intellectual property in the markets in which they operate.
The agreement was signed in Sydney as part of the Dutch economic mission to Australia and New Zealand, in the presence of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.
Heijmans’ spokesperson Joziene van de Linde says the alliance will benefit the two companies’ customers by broadening the range of innovative products they can offer.
“It enables us to offer our products in Australia and New Zealand in an efficient way,” van de Linde explains. “Rather than establishing a company, we will work closely with Fulton Hogan which already has an established and respected presence in these countries.
“Formalising the alliance is the first step towards developing a licensing agreement with Fulton Hogan for our products.”
Fulton Hogan managing director Nick Miller believes technology transfer between the two companies was an effective way of bringing proven products to market.
“At Fulton Hogan, we strive for a balance between R&D innovation, and collaborating with those who have products and technologies that would benefit Australia and New Zealand.
“Our strategic alliance with Heijmans means we can help each other market products, and adapt them for use in the countries in which we operate.
“The agreement could see us making complete end products or semi-finished products, sharing IP for asphalt mixes or production techniques, as well as providing our people in a consultancy capacity on specific projects.”
By working together, Fulton Hogan and Heijmans will connect communities using innovation and cutting edge technologies.
