Our history
is our essence
Since 1958, we have been committed to meeting the needs of our customers; over the years we have expanded our knowledge in the field of industrial machinery. For 70 years, we have been fully designing and manufacturing machinery for different sectors; in our current product range, most have been developed to serve the oil and gas pipeline construction sector.
However, over the years, the company has expanded its product portfolio by introducing machinery used in other sectors such as: agriculture, mining, port operations, and the construction of wind and photovoltaic plants.
