Heinz-Gerd Koerner, Managing Director of the DMT Group, says “I am very pleased to welcome DMT Kai Batla as a new member of DMT Group. I am sure that this will open up opportunities for business development that will be beneficial for all involved.” DMT Kai Batla Pty Ltd will be integrated into the Group and lead the expansion of DMT’s services in Africa.
Avinash Bisnath and Sodhie Naicker will continue as Managing Director and Technical Director respectively. The Board will be joined by Bernd Teigler from Germany, Chris Wells from the UK and TN Gunaseelan from India. Avinash Bisnath says “This merger is going to transform the landscape of the consulting industry in South Africa by introducing specialist skills typically not found in South Africa, especially in the Oil and Gas industry.
