Over the next five years, Muehlhan will take over responsibility as the international oil and gas production company's sole partner for fabric maintenance. In addition, Muehlhan and Mærsk Oil agreed to an option for another year. The contract covers stable, steady work volumes without any major risks. As a result, the contribution to the Muehlhan Group's earnings will be below average. The contract, which has a starting date of 1 April 2017, is the biggest single contract in the Muehlhan Group's company history. Executive Board Chairman Stefan Müller-Arends notes: "We are pleased that we will be able to further expand our cooperation with Mærsk Oil in the coming years. The Oil & Gas business segment is of significant strategic importance to us. We will affirm the high degree of trust demonstrated by this bundled order from our partner by providing excellent service."
