Canada’s global multidisciplinary management, engineering and development consultancy Hatch Metals paid a visit to CISDI recently.

A delegation led by the company’s global director Ted Lyon and Asia Pacific director David Small travelled to Chongqing to meet with CISDI’s chairman Xuewen Xiao and his team.

On the agenda were future plans for their year-old joint venture, Hatch-CISDI International Engineering & Consulting.

Registered in Hong Kong in October 2017, HCI provides a diverse range of services which boost the sustainable development of its clients. The two companies pool their expertise in technology, consulting, project management and the global business network.

Hatch, established in 1955, describes itself as “entrepreneurs with a technical soul.” The company works in over 150 countries around the world in the metals, energy, infrastructure, digital and investments market sectors.

Its diverse teams have a vast knowledge of engineering and business, and work in partnership with clients to develop market strategies, manage and optimise production, develop new game-changing technologies, and design and deliver complex capital projects.

Their solutions pursue optimal environmental protection, economic prosperity, social justice and cultural vibrancy.

Xiao said: “Hatch and CISDI are combining competitive skills and references to provide optimal total solutions and operations management to steel companies going through transformation and upgrading.”

Ted Lyon added: “We recognise CISDI’s continuous progress in project management and engineering technology and improved brand awareness around the globe.

‘We are encouraged to wield mutual complementary advantages and experience to develop wider and deeper co-operation.”
