Amsterdam, 2 December 2022 – Arcadis, the leading global
design & consultancy organization for natural and built assets
has today announced it has completed the acquisition of DPS, a
leading consultancy, engineering and construction management
company for Life Sciences and Semiconductor facilities.
The acquisition, which was announced on 5 October
2022, comes after five years of successful collaboration
between both organizations and two months after Arcadis
completed the purchase of IBI Group. DPS (to be
renamed as Arcadis DPS Group) will become part of Arcadis’ Places
GBA, providing clients with a one-stop, full-service
provider across the entire spectrum of the built
environment.
The Irish headquartered business has a strong presence in North
America and Europe, and long-standing client relationships with the
world’s largest pharmaceutical and semiconductor manufacturing
companies. Arcadis and DPS already collaborate closely together,
including supporting Bristol Myers Squibb develop a new cell
therapy facility at the Leiden Bio Science Park in the Netherlands.
With this acquisition, Arcadis will increase its talent base by
2,850 people, achieve a leading position in the high growth,
hi-tech industrial manufacturing facilities markets and create an
integrated full-service offering for clients.
Simon Bimpson, currently leading Arcadis’ Resilience
Business Area in the UK and Ireland will assume the role of
President, Arcadis DPS Group, responsible for performance and
integration. Frank Keogh will step down as DPS’ Chief
Executive Officer with immediate effect and take on a role as
strategic advisor, supporting Simon and the integration team to
transition DPS’ people, projects and systems to Arcadis. It is
expected the integration process will be completed before the end
of 2023.
Peter Oosterveer, Chief Executive Officer, Arcadis
said:
“The DPS acquisition showcases yet another
significant milestone for Arcadis’ business of delivering a
seamless and full service offering to clients. With a strong focus
on life-improving sciences, advanced facilities of the future and
commitment to sustainability, DPS echoes Arcadis’ passion for
improving quality of life, and we could not be more excited to
welcome them to the team. “I would like to thank Frank for his
leadership and crucial role in positioning DPS as a leading global
player in the market. I look forward to working closely with
him and Simon as we integrate both businesses and maximize the
client opportunities that lie ahead.”
Frank Keogh, Chief Executive Officer, DPS
said:
“Over the past few years, we have grown our business into a
leader in Life Sciences and Advanced Technology across North
America and Europe. I am proud to be taking DPS to the next level,
joining forces with Arcadis and combining our strengths, expertise,
and talent. I look forward to working closely with Simon as we
transition to the new business and offer a more comprehensive set
of solutions for our clients.”
