Dredging, Environmental & Marine Engineering NV (DEME)
www.deme.be

DEME Group is a leader in research and development. Our in-house engineering department has significantly contributed to major breakthroughs in its core business: dredging and land reclamation. Over the years, DEME Group has developed innovative technology for environmental dredging, treating and cleaning contaminated sludge and polluted soil, construction of landfills for industrial and domestic waste. As these activities became more important, DEME-Group merged them in a separate company that works domestic and foreign markets: DEME Environmental Contractors (DEC).

DEME Group is working on the five continents, operating through a network of branch offices, subsidiaries and agencies from Mexico and Nigeria to Australia, from Caracas over Rome to Shanghai. Activities are well spread over the globe, balancing risks in one area with opportunities in another one.
