Our Customers

Industrial Gas and Energy Industries

Our customers operate primarily in the Industrial Gas, Petro-chemical, LNG and CO2 industries.
We have been able to learn a great deal about the requirements of these industries and also offer some innovative solutions of our own.
We have manufactured and exported cryogenic equipment to over 45 countries and developed many long-standing relationships.
Our philosophy of collaboration and relationship building has enabled us to build successful strategic partnerships with like-minded companies; allowing us to present our clients with a more complete AND WELL-SUITED product and service offering.

 

 

 

 

Technology Transfer & Consulting

More recently (since 2005), through technology transfer and training, we have offered licenses to other manufacturing companies in various countries. This has empowered these companies to add cryogenic storage and transporter equipment as a major product line.

Our hands-on and practical approach to these partnerships allows for a fast learning and adoption of the principles, design, systems & technology as a whole. The manufacturers quickly become completely independent. And our continued support and backing adds credibility and trust in the new cryo products.

Significant Payload Advantages

The significant difference between the cost of ISO container and Semi Tanker distribution is often underestimated.

With ~38% more payload, the savings alone on our LNG Semi-tankers can pay-off the equipment in ~14 months.

Of course the numbers vary with many different variables, but the savings are always significant. The example below is reduced to one semi-tanker and based on Southern African project conditions.
