Infoplaza BV and BMT ARGOSS BV, leading providers of global weather services, announces their decision to combine activities with immediate effect. The new weather company will strengthen its position in the Dutch weather market as well as the international offshore and marine industries.

This merger will combine two organizations with similar cultures and core values and will strengthen the weather proposition to both the offshore and marine industries. Clients can be assured that their needs will be met through new and innovative weather services combined with high quality information and data sources. In addition, this merger enables an expansion of new services compliant with a dynamic international business development strategy. Joint operations will be headquartered at the Infoplaza offices in Houten. In the short term both companies will continue to operate under their own brands.

In recent years BMT ARGOSS has established a significant share in the international offshore and marine industry, with a strong focus on producing high quality forecasts derived from knowledge and experience of high resolution modelling. Infoplaza has developed a high level of expertise in creating user friendly weather dashboards for many business industries, and in 2017 developed an innovative Offshore Weather Support (OWS) system. Personalized dashboards allow users to understand at a glance if the weather will exceed project limits and their introduction has been received with great enthusiasm by several leading companies across different industries.

Jean-Paul Lindeboom, managing director of BMT ARGOSS: “Customers will undoubtedly benefit from this combination of strengths. Through the collaboration with Infoplaza our clients will notice improvements in visualization and presentation of high quality marine forecasts. This will help our clients to plan and optimize operations more effectively and safely.

Menno Bom, owner and founder of Infoplaza: “We are pleased to strengthen our position in the weather market with the innovative professionalism of BMT ARGOSS. Increasing capacity to over 60 colleagues will also enable us to respond much more effectively to the requirements of our international clients as well as enhance the development of advanced dashboards for business clients.”
