It is with great ambition that I assume my position as division Presiden of MCS. Moisture Control Services has a strong global position that I want to develop further. In 2008, much of the division's focus will be on improving gross margins and the broad launch of the Field.Link system during the year will contribute strongly to that goal.
- Morten Andreason, Division President
Munters’ MCS Division offers services in damage restoration following water or fire damages for primarily insurance companies, and humidity and temperature control for the construction industry and other sectors.
Operations are conducted on a global basis with a strong local presence through approximately 300 service depots and almost 1 900 employees. MCS has quick response times and efficient, environmentally friendly technology.
MCS generates value for insurance companies by primarily minimizing costs related to scope of the damage and its management, but also by dealing with the damage professionally on behalf of the insurance holder. With temporary humidity and temperature control, value is created mainly through high quality services and by shortening the time of a customer’s project.
Services and offerings
Munters has a long and proven record of dealing with damage caused by water, humidity or fire. The division has a strong local presence in many geographic markets through its 300 service depots and is therefore able to offer a high degree of availability.
MCS offers services in the areas of
Major environmental gains through property damage restoration
Insurance damages are often much less expensive using dehumidification and restoration, rather than resorting to demolition and rebuilding. For water damage, time is a critical factor and the flexibility of MCS technology enables a rapid response, limiting the scope of the damage. There are also major environmental gains compared with rebuilding, since the amount of both materials and waste is reduced. 
MCS offers a comprehensive solution and often serves as a project manager for the insurance company, coordinating other subcontractors involved at the damage site. MCS also offers services for temporary humidity and temperature control for the construction industry and other sectors.
Speed up construction projects
Efficient drying of concrete and other construction materials make projects faster and less weather-dependent. MCS also offers climate-control products for preventing corrosion on cleaned steel surfaces, in shipyards, for example, thereby ensuring quality, which will reduce the risk of damage and associated warranty problems.
Mobile IT for quick and efficient property damage restoration
The ambition of MCS is to greatly simplify and improve everyday communications, both internally and between technicians and administration, as well as externally with customers in regard to insurance matters. With MCS mobile IT system, the amount of time used has been reduced to administer various projects, such as the completion of forms, damage reports and action plans. Munters service technicians in the field can efficiently report and communicate both internally and with insurance customers. Experience from the UK market, where the system has been in use for more than two years, has shown significant reduction of costs, while simultaneously increasing service to all customers, especially through more straightforward on-line information flow and faster handling and service of key accounts.
