Transfield Services entered the South American market in January 2008 with the 50 per cent acquisition of INSER, a leading provider of mining maintenance and capital works services in the fast-growing Chilean market.
The resulting joint venture, INSER Transfield Services S.A., also includes subsidiary company Ingenieria, which specialises in dust and mineral extraction from mining and power waste processing.
This acquisition and entry into Chile meets Transfield Services’ global growth strategy of expanding into new markets with favourable macro-economic conditions and the opportunity to leverage global client relationships.
INSER Transfield Services S.A. has more than 1,200 employees, long term contracts with blue chip clients including BHP Billiton, Codelco and Xstrata and offices in the northern Chilean mining hubs of Antofagasta, Calama and capital Santiago.
