Delta Consultants Expands Global Platform Through Acquisition By Dutch Consulting Firm ST. PAUL, MINN. JAN. 11, 2008
Both firms are part of the Inogen Alliance, a global corporation formed by a network of environmental, health, safety and sustainability consulting firms to provide multinational organizations with consistent, high quality and cost-effective environmental, health and safety solutions. As partners in Inogen, Delta and Oranjewoud shared resources and technology to serve joint clients. The acquisition allows the combined company to establish a larger anchor for this global alliance and to offer a more cohesive approach for clients at the multi-national level. Founded in 1986, Delta built a solid reputation as a solutions provider in the areas of environmental, health & safety and sustainability consulting for the petroleum, manufacturing, specialty chemical and forest products markets. In over 20 years, the company grew to more than 700 employees with more than 45 offices around the country. “Delta’s strong U.S. coverage provides a complementary footprint for Oranjewoud in the U.S. market without organizational overlap,” says Gerard Sanderink, CEO and majority owner of Oranjewoud. “Joining forces with Oranjewoud positions us to better achieve our company’s aspirations by leveraging synergies in the areas of environmental and safety consulting to build a stronger global platform. We look forward to working together, as leaders in our respective countries, to provide our clients with innovative solutions and an exceptional level of service,” says Bob Karls, Delta Chairman and CEO. This integration will create a multi-national environment and safety consulting division with more than 1,200 employees, resulting in opportunities for our team members, a larger Associate for the Inogen Alliance, and broader capabilities for our clients. Karls, along with Kris Van Malderen, Director of Oranjewoud’s Netherlands, Belgium and France Environment & Safety Division, will be joint CEOs/Managing Directors of the combined Environment and Safety Division created by the acquisition. Oranjewoud N.V., a leading consultancy and engineering firm in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, employed approximately 2,400 full time staff prior to its acquisition of Delta. Total employees now number more than 3,000. The company offers high quality services in the broad areas of infrastructure, urban development, construction, the environment, safety and compliance, real estate issues and sports and leisure facilities. Oranjewoud provides services for the entire project chain: from the planning stage to advice, design and supervision to contracting, management and operation. Oranjewoud N.V. acquired all shares of Delta Consultants through its new US-based subsidiary Inogen Global Holding, Inc. Delta will continue to operate as Delta Consultants. Oranjewoud N.V. is listed on the official market of Euronext NV in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. For further information: Mr. Kris Van Malderen Delta Consultants Honored by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency BP’s Spring Valley Terminal Receives Certificate of Commendation St. Paul, Minnesota – May 10, 2007 – The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has awarded a Certificate of Commendation to BP’s Spring Valley Terminal and its wastewater treatment consultant, Delta. The honor recognizes exemplary efforts during 2006 in complying with the MPCA’s permit program to protect and preserve Minnesota waters. Located in southeastern Minnesota outside the town of Spring Valley, the terminal receives the petroleum products through a pipeline from BP’s Whiting Refinery and stores them in nine above-ground storage tanks. Karls Named as Delta’s CEO Bob Karls, founder and 21-year employee, St. Paul, Minnesota – April 6, 2007 Delta Consultants’ Board of Directors has named Robert M. (Bob) Karls as President and CEO of Delta. Karls began his term on April 3, 2007, upon the resignation of Paul Goudreault, Delta’s CEO since 1999.
Goudreault’s leadership more than doubled Delta’s revenue and dramatically increased the ESOP share value. He also saw Delta through four acquisitions and was a leader in the development and implementation of Inogen. Goudreault will still be actively engaged at Delta as a senior consultant and account manager, as well as continuing as the Chairman of Inogen. As one of Delta’s original founders, Karls has been an active employee and leader for the past 21 years. He’s held many roles, ranging from hydrologist to Managing Director of Delta’s U.K. joint venture Delta-Simons. Since 2002, Karls has also been Delta’s Chairman of the Board. “Delta is a great company because we have great, hardworking, creative and loyal employees who truly value solving our clients’ business problems,” says Karls. “I look forward to continuing this journey with Delta and seizing the opportunities we have ahead of us.” Greencastle Launches Website

Tropical Study Center is a not-for-profit institution formed to provide

DELTA CONSULTANTS Receives Patent for New Biodegradation Process St. Paul, Minnesota – January 4, 2007 - Delta Consultants has been awarded Patent No. 7,138,060, titled “In Situ Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater.” This patent is for a process utilizing unusually high concentrations of Magnesium Sulfate to stimulate biodegradation. Delta applied the technology at 70 petroleum-contaminated study sites. Results indicated significantly faster biodegradation of particular petroleum compounds, even at sites where other remedial methods were already implemented. In conducting the study, Delta built upon the already proven practice of applying additional electron acceptors to groundwater to expedite bioremediation. However, traditional applications have focused on increasing oxygen levels and limited increases in sulfate. Delta’s application differed in that much higher concentrations of sulfate were applied - typically in the 150,000 mg/l range, versus historical application levels in the 250 mg/l range (EPA Secondary Drinking Water Standard). In the past, Delta typically has not chosen to pursue patents on many
of the good ideas it has developed to solve clients’ problems. “The
sulfate process we developed is different,” says Bob Karls, Chairman. “It’s
an application that we have seen provide very good results for our
clients, and was different enough to merit consideration to pursue
a patent.” Additional information about Delta’s Patent can be viewed on the US Patent website at: www.uspto.gov Any questions about potential applicability of this technology should be directed to Jim Cuthbertson at (248) 699-0259 or by email at jcuthbertson@deltaenv.com.
