INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MANUAL

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MANUAL FLOWCHART

The Management System aims to provide a framework for the Mecwide Group.

It is reviewed periodically by top management at least once a year, during the first quarter

MECWIDE GROUP

MECWIDE GROUP is organized and operates under a matrix organization of Business Units and Organic Sites.

Our operations span throughout Europe, from our Portuguese head office and workshops, with the support of our local operations in Spain (Seville and Gijon) and Norway (on top of a number of permanent establishments in several European countries). In Africa, our footprint is mostly established in Angola and Mozambique, with occasional projects in other regions. In terms of technical capabilities, we have chosen to set up our organization in specialized Business Unit, able to provide the most adequate technical response to our clients - Oil & Gas, Mining and Cement, Industry and Energy, Modular Systems, Technical Assistance, and the most recent unit – Data Centers.

This matrix organization allows us to have the best balance between the dedicated and swift response to the market and our clients, whist at the same time taking advantage of the synergies of corporate central services and common work methods.

BUSINESS UNIT

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

Based on the experience gained, and on an integrated management of the facilities, the Technical Assistance business unit stands out for its highly specialized and qualified recruitment and follow-up. It optimizes spaces, processes and technologies, and guides each industrial project in a focused and particular way.

Our assistance includes the full or partial provision of technical maintenance services, either under a contract, or occasional intervention, maintenance contracts under an outsourcing regime and industrial mountaineering.

We take advantage of the experience, technical competence, rigor and specialization to gather the best professionals for creating value in the following areas:

• Oil & Gas (On-shore / Off-shore);

• Refineries;

• Chemical and pharmaceutical industry;

• Naval Industry.

MINING & CEMENT

The Mining & Cement business unit focuses on two main areas of operation: mechanical maintenance for specialized industries and execution of EPC.

The high international experience combined with a wide range of operations in the market guarantees the client a robust solution for its business and ensures a high capacity to develop projects from the engineering phase, through construction, assembly and commissioning of the facilities.

This business unit offers tailored solutions, on a contract basis or occasionally within the scope of mechanical maintenance of the facilities.

MODULAR SYSTEMS

The Modular Systems Business Unit is strongly geared towards the engineering and manufacturing of skids and modular systems. Well-established with a proven track record of providing customized integrated solutions and internationally recognized by its experience in project execution, we encompass various international standards.

We are focused on customer satisfaction by meeting their requirements & quality standards at all times. We are committed to maintain the quality control in the comprehensive areas of design, development, manufacturing, installation and service.

The projects are executed from an engineering stage, through manufacturing and complementary activities (Painting, Insulation, Electricity & Instrumentation, Heat Treatment, Hydraulic Tests and non-destructive tests), ending with Factory Acceptance Tests and Final Delivery / Installation.

OIL & GAS

The Oil & Gas business unit is in the genesis of the Mecwide group, expanding permanently its scope of action, seeking to respond to the current industrial diversification. Through the provision of services of great added value and high level of demand, the foundation of its execution strategy is the rigor and commitment to the objectives required by its various customers.

Among the various activities we develop, we highlight the construction and maintenance of complex industrial units and the development of projects of highly demanding interventions, through specialization and consolidated experience in mechanical construction and metalworking services, developed under the context of oil refineries, petrochemical plants, storage/distribution parks and various others complex industrial facilities.

INDUSTRY & ENERGY

As a result of the excellent location that makes maritime transport possible, the Industry & Energy Business Unit ensures the execution of the project’s manufacturing through our three workshops in Portugal, ensuring all aspects of logistics, regulation and engineering.

From piping, metal ducts, metal structures, equipment and diverse boilerwork, we maximize prefabrication, thus managing to optimize the efficiency and control of processes, as well as all quality parameters. With this, we ensure the delivery to each client of a complete service of higher quality and at competitive prices.

Always in close contact and alignment with the client, the on-site assembly is guaranteed by highly qualified teams, with recognized national and international experience, capable of managing the different phases and specialties of demanding and multidisciplinary projects.

DATA CENTERS

The Data Centers business unit is the youngest unit of the Mecwide group.

Mecwide's step into this new business area allowed it to solidify the company's strategy of entering projects still in the design stage, and to considerably increase procurement activity.

The services provided are very wide, but include the following specialized activities: detail engineering;

• Procurement of all piping and equipment (valves, heat exchangers, inertia tanks, pumps, deaerators, flow meters, instruments) of the cooling network;

• Procurement of all piping and equipment for the fire protection network;

• Installation of piping and supports; Testing and flushing of the lines;

• Commissioning and start-up of the installation

Working in Technical Assistance in the country since 2009, and with a company incorporated since 2013, Mecwide works daily with the goal of becoming a reference in the sectors where it operates, focused on safety, customer satisfaction, high quality and development of local labor.

With a strong growth potential, the Angolan market develops an important role in the strategy of the Mecwide Group, being a support base for the growth of its operations in neighboring markets.

Mecwide Angola is dedicated to EPC projects of piping, mechanical construction, support structures, as well as renewable energy projects and preventive and corrective maintenance of onshore and offshore installations. We currently have offshore and onshore employees working for leading companies in the market such as Grupo Ponticelli, SPIE Oil&Gas and Cegelec.

In 2015, Mecwide expanded on the African continent, establishing a presence in Mozambique.

The investment on the integration of local employees at a technical and operational level, together with expatriate experience, has proven to be a very assertive formula, both in the integration of the company in the country and in the enhancement of the provision of qualified services with higher levels of knowledge and demand.

Throughout our presence in the Mozambican market, we have participated in projects in different areas of activity, focusing on Technical Assistance, Mining & Cement, Oil & Gas, Industry & Energy and also in the construction of various infrastructures and buildings.

Present in Spain since 2013, our office in Seville is mainly focused on the mining and cement industries. It´s from this office that we have managed several turnkey projects, turning Mecwide a reference player in these sectors in Spain.

Recently, we opened a new office in Gijón focused on Oil & Gas and Industry & Energy projects.

The incorporation of Mecwide Nordics, in partnership with a Norwegian company, started our operations in January 2023. Specialized in the construction of data centers, this company will be dedicated exclusively to the execution of metalworking projects in data centers in the scandinavian market.
