INTERTECHNE GROUP

A TRAJECTORY OF BOLDNESS AND DETERMINATION

Intertechne group has been operating for over 30 years in the consultative engineering segment and is today one of the country’s leading companies in consultancy and construction management services for the energy, infrastructure and oil & gas segments.

The group is made up of two controlled companies with total synergy of activity: Intertechne is focused on development, project structuring and construction management, while Sistechne is an energy solutions integrator specialized in the supply of systems, equipment and services.

Over the past 15 years, we have invested in the internationalization of our operations by building strategic alliances with companies in Europe, the United States and Canada. We have also formed a vast network of professionals spread across a wide range of countries, which has allowed us to develop large-scale projects and works carried out in different countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. This demonstrates the Intertechne group’s vocation and capacity to act as a global company.

From the beginning, we believe that our greatest asset is people. We believe that an engineering company is not only made up of the best methodologies, software, equipment and offices. Above all, the human ingredient is needed. Our teams are largely responsible for our successful trajectory.

We are proud of everything we have accomplished so far. We overcome immense challenges throughout our history, but we always seek innovative solutions with creativity and above all perseverance. In no way are we satisfied or accommodated with our achievements. We appreciate the various awards we receive and the recognition of customers, but our concern always speaks louder. Therefore, day after day we have in mind a single objective: to surprise our customers through solutions that result in works of high technical quality and with a positive impact on society. And now that we are in the third generation of partners, we are thinking about the coming decades with the same determination and passion that led us to get here.
