| Property Restoration |
|
 |
|
|
| After a building has been affected by water or
fire damage, it is important to identify all hidden damages, too
– these are often the most dangerous ones as they have the most
serious implications. Experts use state-of-the-art equipment to
find out which restoration procedure is best suited.
BELFOR applies all modern procedures and continuously refines
them in its own laboratory. Important steps in the repair of a
building include emergency measures, decontamination, drying,
cleaning, odour neutralisation and reconstruction. |

Switch back quickly
It is amazing to see how many things can be repaired after they
were damaged by fire or water. And who would have thought that a
printed circuit board needs to be drowned to become fully
functional again? BELFOR restores electronic systems of all
kinds – from laptop computers to power plant controls, from
medical equipment to machines for semiconductor production.
Often this is done under extremely difficult circumstances,
strict clean-room conditions and tough environmental
requirements. Many teams integrate members with diverse
international backgrounds and specialist expertise. |

Getting machines
running again
The worst that can happen to a machine or plant after an
incident is irreparable damage from corrosion, abrasion or
getting stuck. Immediate anticorrosive treatment is the only
thing that helps. Professional repair is often the most
economical and fastest solution after a damage. The BELFOR
experts work closely with machine manufacturers and customers –
and against the clock. The aim is to get the machines running
again quickly. The future of a company often hinges on the
quality and speed of a restoration. |

Getting values into
the dry
The first steps after a damage are the most important
ones. BELFOR uses a wide variety of methods to save documents
and data, as each case calls for special treatment. Special
engineering expertise – and sophisticated logistics and special
technology – are required to dry sensitive papers and data to
ensure that customers have access to their information also
during the drying process. When it comes to restoring complete
archives, customers can be sure of getting everything back in
the right order. |

| The BELFOR Emergency
Programme |
|
 |
|
|
RED ALERT® – NO REASON
TO PAINT IT BLACK
RED ALERT® is an emergency response programme developed by
BELFOR for industrial customers. The basic idea behind this
programme is to get a business running again as quickly as
possible after a disaster. When disaster strikes, RED ALERT®
customers benefit from preferential service, which is defined in
advance: with fixed priorities, emergency measures,
responsibilities, staff training. The customer can be certain
that all necessary steps are taken immediately, with no delay.
As BELFOR knows the situation and knows what to do, the customer
does not waste valuable time coordinating the immediate
response measures but can focus all energy on restarting the
operations and keeping the business going. |

The best businesses
are the ones which are running.
What is the benefit of Business Continuity Planning (BCP)? You
obtain solutions which help you to keep your business processes
running, or to get them back into operation as quickly as
possible. Even in the most difficult of circumstances. We work
with you to develop a strategy covering all elements which may
be necessary for the maintenance of your business operations.
Offices, equipment, IT etc, are included in a plan which
reflects the needs of your business and sets clear goals and
structured procedures for an emergency, with clear priorities.
Important aspects of BCP are the definition, protection and
availability of important records (e.g. computer data), clearly
defined areas of responsibility, support from corporate
management, and appropriate financing.
We support you as an expert partner in the implementation of
your plans. Please give us a call! |

| Mould Remediation |
|
 |
|
|
The correct repair.
Simply better for health.
Mould develops in buildings wherever dampness occurs. Often
unnoticed at first, over time it can develop into a real plague,
making many residents ill and triggering allergic reactions.
Regardless of whether it was caused by leakages, flood damage or
poor-quality building – the key to effective treatment is a
speedy and thorough repair by specialists. Because many cases of
mould growth can be attributed to inexpert initial treatment.
Professional repair begins with an analysis and by sealing
off the affected area; larger-scale damage demands a
microbiological assessment. For drying, BELFOR deploys a variety
of processes, e.g. with warm and dry air. Damaged building
components are removed, or treated with a special vacuum
cleaner. In every case, mould damage repair requires a well
thought-out plan and individual treatment. |

| History |
|
 |
|
Small and large disasters strike every day,
everywhere in the world, bringing routine processes to a
screeching halt. Fires break out, storms rage, natural forces
leave a trail of devastation. In situations like these,
professional and reliable assistance is needed, someone who
helps put things back on track. BELFOR assists its clients with
professional disaster recovery and restoration services – around
the clock, around the globe.
1989 The Haniel Umweltschutz (Environmental Services)
Division starts its first activities in the field of fire damage
restoration and preventive fire protection through acquisitions
in Germany, Switzerland (incl. Austria, Belgium and Italy).
1991 Haniel Umweltschutz is split into two new Divisions:
Haniel Industrie-Service and Haniel Envirotec. Haniel
Industrie-Service provides services such as pipe and sewer
cleaning, special transports, plant maintenance and transport
safety. Haniel Envirotec’s activities include machine and plant
overhauls, electronics restoration, preventive fire protection
and asbestos removal.
1995 Drying services are added to the range of activities.
The two Divisions, which were split four years ago, are reunited
under the name of Haniel EnviroService. In the meantime, the
fire and water restoration damages were expanded to France and
UK.
1998 All Haniel EnviroService companies offering fire and
water damage repair services operate under the BELFOR umbrella
brand.
1999 BELFOR enters the US market and becomes a
world-leading disaster recovery and restoration company.
2000 BELFOR acquires a leading European competitor (Relectronic-Remech)
and enters the Asian market. BELFOR gains technical expertise
and becomes the market leader. At the same time, Haniel
EnviroService sells its pipe and sewer services and industrial
services. At the end of the year, the Division is renamed BELFOR
International, whose core business is the restoration of fire
and water damage.
2004-2005 BELFOR opens new branch offices in Germany,
Austria and expands its East European business to Poland and
Czech Republic. The Asian market appearance is strengthened by a
new operation in Japan while the Canadian operations acquire two
competitors in the Northern part of Canada.
2006 The Haniel Group sells BELFOR to the newly
established BELFOR Holdings Inc., whose headquarters are in
Delaware, USA and which is headed by the current top management
of the BELFOR Group. This means the present managing directors
of the holding company, the managing directors of the European
and, in particular, of the North American country operations as
well as other top managers are the new shareholders of BELFOR.
Franz Haniel & Cie. GmbH has a 25 per cent interest in BELFOR
Holdings Inc.
The BELFOR Group is now jointly headed by Bernd Elsner and
Sheldon Yellen. Elsner is responsible for the European and Asian
operations and Yellen continues to run the United States and
Canadian operations.
BELFOR is the world-leading fire and water damage restoration
company and employs 3,200 people in 170 locations in over 27
countries. |
