PMI B.V.’s operational presence in key ports, such as Terneuzen, Flushing, Rotterdam, Gent, and Antwerp, will further amplify AmSpec’s global service offerings and existing position in these key areas in line with our international service strategy. Matt Corr, CEO of AmSpec, stated, “The inclusion of PMI B.V. into our AmSpec Agri Group is important to our company, especially in the context of rising global food supply demands and supply chain challenges. Their deep expertise will bring invaluable insights into the fertilizer sector, a cornerstone in the agricultural supply chain.” Nico Bakker, founder of PMI, stated, “PMI was established in 2015 to offer a broad range of high-quality marine surveying services in the Netherlands and Belgium. After eight consecutive years of steady growth, we are very excited to join forces with Amspec, a well-known and recognized global operating company, to further develop and expand the business and our services.” **EMPHASIS ON QUALITY AND MARKET RESPONSIVENESS** Both companies are committed to delivering high-quality, tailored services. PMI B.V. will contribute to AmSpec’s already well-established systems, designed to meet the needs of the increasingly demanding Agriculture market. The fusion of these two companies is expected to create synergies that will elevate service quality and customer satisfaction across crucial market sectors. **For further information, please contact:** Jay Gutierrez, Executive Vice President – Corporate Development Phone: +1 (210) 383-1171 Email: CorpDevelop@amspecgroup.com Valentin Rossel, Executive Vice President – Agri Group Telephone: +41 22 799 41 51 Email: valentin.rossel@amspecgroup.com Share this ### Related Posts You Might Like #### [May 30, 2025 Driving Forward: AmSpec’s Role in Sustainable Supply Chains As global demand for low-carbon energy accelerates, AmSpec is proud to be at the forefront of supporting renewable fuel supply chains with trusted testing, i...](https://blog.amspecgroup.com/resources/driving-forward-amspecs-role-in-sustainable-supply-chains) #### [Oct 28, 2025 How Greenhouse Gas Calculations Are Verified Under ISCC As governments set stricter greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, transparency in how emissions are measured and verified has become a cornerstone of susta...](https://blog.amspecgroup.com/resources/how-greenhouse-gas-calculations-are-verified-under-iscc) #### [Oct 28, 2025 How ISCC Verifies Renewable Electricity Use in RFNBO Production As renewable hydrogen and e-fuels move from pilot projects to large-scale deployment, the credibility of their carbon reductions depends on one key factor: \<...](https://blog.amspecgroup.com/resources/how-iscc-verifies-renewable-electricity-use-in-rfnbo-production) © 2026 - All rights reserved. ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "AmSpec Team", "url" : "https://blog.amspecgroup.com/author/amspec-team" }, "dateModified" : "2026-02-25T03:13:57.436Z", "datePublished" : "2023-09-05T04:00:00.000Z", "headline" : "AMSPEC ENHANCES ITS AGRI DIVISION WITH THE STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF POLARIS MARINE INSPECTIONS (PMI) B.V.", "image" : [ "https://blog.amspecgroup.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/AmSpec-x-PMI-Acquisition-Social-Media-September-2023-1.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.amspecgroup.com/resources/polaris-marine-inspections-pmi-b-v", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.amspecgroup.com/hubfs/Logo/AmSpec-Logo-Updated-Red.svg" } } } ```
