ARNHEM, The Netherlands – July 13, 2005 – ARCADIS (NASDAQ: ARCAF, EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consultancy and engineering company, announced today that it has sold Renardet SA and Sauti srl respectively a Swiss and Italian subsidiary, to the Italian engineering company Bonifica.

In 2004 gross revenue of the companies totaled € 11 million and the companies employed 240 people. Further financial details were not disclosed.

“The sale fits the ARCADIS’ strategy to focus on higher value added services” says Michiel Jaski, member of the Executive Board of ARCADIS. “As we also aim to build strong home market positions, we don’t see the donor-financed market as a strategic growth segment.”
