HISTORY
Ellis Engineering and Tegmul adapted to the market requirements throughout their history, from 1983, 1984 and 1993 respectively, making these entities a real asset to the group. A rich history of knowledge and experience has ensured that knowledge transfer to younger generations has taken place. The Group has benefitted from this strong foundational structure and continues to strive to build on and transfer this knowledge within the organisation.
We adapted to the market requirements with regards to the manufacturing and fabrication of mild steel, running concurrent to the refractory division, and extended our profile to suit the market trends. In 2009 we further extended our profile by opening a stainless-steel fabrication division over and above the mild steel and refractory divisions.
Amalgamated the stainless steel and mild steel divisions to one division called “the fabrication division” and expanded into the market by establishing a turnkey solution, offering both fabrication and construction services and creating another division called “the construction division”. With this expansion, we became market leaders in turnkey solutions, sparking an appetite for further growth in the industry.
A new Executive Management team took over in 2017 (WPPS buyout), with more than 40 years’ experience within the Engineering, Fabrication and Construction industry in the mining, petrochemical and energy sectors. With the synergy and experience of the new team, the group was able to effectively drive the expansion of our market footprint to expedite international growth and ensure innovation and service excellence remain core drivers of the company.
Currently we are continually expanding by focusing on growing the group and expediting further expansion into the African and the European markets. We aim to become the go to Fabrication, Construction, Project and Procurement Management House in the market. Through consistent innovation and pivoting our expansion projects through the Covid-19 pandemic, we have successfully maintained milestones and identified new areas of focus. In 2021, we will place increased focus on our procurement management leg, assisting customers to save cost through our purchasing power and high-quality suppliers.
