BREAKING NEW GROUND IN REMOTE REGIONS SINCE 2002
IMEON was founded with the intention of providing compliant, Western-level support to government & corporate clients in developing markets. Today we remain true to this goal by consistently rendering personalized service through a small team of management professionals who have been working side by side since 2002.
Our dedication has earned IMEON a reputation as a market leader in implementing & maintaining effective supply chains in austere environments. Our key management team was the driving force behind some of the first humanitarian shipments into Afghanistan from the north in early 2002, and subsequently developed the initial strategy for the withdrawal of military cargo via the untested Northern Distribution Network – a series of supply routes through The Former Soviet Union which now form the basis of “The New Silk Road.”
IMEON has also played a key role in developing remote site solutions for energy and mining projects. This has included contingency planning, construction, procurement and developing bespoke supply routes into resource rich extraction sites.
In the years to come IMEON will be actively seeking to replicate its success in new locations throughout Africa, the Middle East and the Arctic.
