Intero Integrity Services today announced the launch of its new brand as a service provider to the oil, gas refining and petrochemical industries around the world.

Formerly operating as A.Hak Industrial Services, the company’s rebranding recognizes its history and excellent track record in providing its customers with technology-driven inspection and industrial services to enhance the integrity and performance of their critical midstream and downstream assets from design to end-of-life.

Furthermore, Intero announce the backing of First Reserve, a leading global private equity investment firm exclusively focused on energy.

Intero is led by Rienk de Vries, who joined A.Hak Industrial Services as Managing Director in June 2017 with long-standing experience in the industry, including 17 years at Applus RTD.

“With the support of our partners at First Reserve, I am confident that Intero has more opportunities than ever to support our customers, enhance and diversify our service offering and make us a key partner towards the success of their businesses,” said Rienk.

Intero’s main office will remain in Tricht, the Netherlands, and the company will continue to serve its customers out of its various offices in Europe including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, as well as from its global locations in the United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates and Malaysia. As Intero’s focus is on growth, the company plans to continue to invest in and develop its employee talent in each of its core geographies.
