DMT International continues to provide technical support

DMT International’s Global Sales & Marketing Director, Francois Huberts, explains 2020 has been a success for the biogas upgrading technology supplier despite the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“It’s been a challenge,” stated Huberts, “but DMT has continued its commissioning activities and technical support to projects around the globe. The main offices in Joure, the Netherlands and Portland, Oregon have proven that DMT can quickly adapt in order to meet our customers’ priorities. We won four projects in Amsterdam and the U.S while also commissioning four dairy-to-biomethane systems globally.

Commissioning Activities and Daily Operations

On March 11, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic with both Europe and the U.S. instating travel bans shortly after. On July 1, the European Union and other European countries began welcoming non-essential travel from a list of selected countries who had the COVID-19 pandemic sufficiently under control. The U.S. was not on the list. Such continuous travel restrictions leave organizations with global operations unable to resume business as usual models, creating business disruption as well as supply chain challenges.

“We have had to quickly adapt our day-to-day operations, such as working from home, and acclimate to the more challenging issues, such as travel ban restrictions and managing the supply chain. DMT’s hardworking team was already used to operating as a global company, working with experts in different time zones. Working remotely is daily business,” said Huberts.
