Michel Pascalis Chief Executive Officer MLP

In 2006, MLP made a decision to construct a large class A logistic complex in Novosibirsk.

The company contracted IC&M for carrying out land plot searching and registration. IC&M specialists made an excellent job providing us in a very short time with duly registered land plot meeting all MLP requirements.

Based on this effort IC&M was rendered involved in the performance of the following tasks:

Obtaining technical conditions for utility connections to the logistics complex;
Procuring necessary construction approvals from oversight bodies;
Getting a permit for construction;
Construction site preparation (fencing, earthwork, on-site security, temporary camp for the customer).

As for these tasks, IC&M performance was also efficient and high-quality.

In conclusion, it should be noted that in the course of our cooperation IC&M fulfilled the contractual obligations in full and acted as a professional team of experienced specialists putting the customer demand in the focus of their work.

Reviews

Joseph Leo Beckhoff General Director OOO VEKA Rus

The first meeting between VEKA representatives and IC&M Company dates back to 2002, when VEKA was conducting research to evaluate the market capacity of the Novosibirsk region. The credit is to be given to IC&M for making comprehensive and detailed market studies available for our review. Based on this review VEKA later made a decision to invest in the Novosibirsk region.

Considering the positive market research experience, we assigned IC&M to undertake all pre-project works and to implement the construction project under an investment contract.

IC&M assistance was especially valuable as concerns the solution of the following questions:

Land plot search and registration
Transfer of the land plot from one category to another
Service line connection such as electric power, water, heat supply etc.
Contacts with local and regional authorities up to the Governor
Assistance in conducting tenders for participation in plant construction
Budget planning
Assistance in negotiations
Supervision of construction on the site
Tracking the deal on final registration of the investment object...

I believe this list is far from being complete, however it gives an idea of the multifaceted range of services provided by IC&M.

Undoubtedly, our progress in Siberia would have been not so impressive if we had started on our own, without support of our consulting agency. In addition, our amicable and trusting relationships make our cooperation quite special.

Summing up, IC&M was and remains an absolute lucky circumstance for VEKA.
