About us

Established 2016

Our History

Our journey began in 2016 as a dedicated steel fabrication company, primarily serving the construction industry. From domestic installations to large-scale projects in hospitals, schools, and commercial infrastructure, we built a reputation for precision, reliability, and innovation.

As we expanded our expertise, we identified a growing need for specialised solutions in the transmission and distribution sector. This transition allowed us to leverage our experience in steel fabrication and apply it to a new realm, creating robust, innovative solutions that now play a vital role in the energy landscape.

Today, we take pride in our growth and adaptation, consistently delivering top-quality design, fabrication, and installation services. While our capabilities have expanded, our commitment to excellence, reliability, and client satisfaction remains at the core of everything we do.
