Uniting two strengths in waste management
In the three months since Evac Group acquired the marine equipment manufacturer Cathelco, the operations of the two companies have been brought even closer together.
Although the companies serve the same markets which include cruise and commercial vessels as well as the offshore industry, there is the need to bring their operating systems into alignment.
“We have already have encouraging proof of the excellent match of Evac and Cathelco people, systems and knowhow,” said Peter Mohn, senior vice president, Evac Group Development Projects.
“Thanks to the unification of the two organisations, we can now better support our customers’ needs with an improved range of solutions and extended service network.”
Integrated solutions
By bringing the two companies closer together Mr Mohn said, customers should be able to benefit from integrated solutions which can combine the waste, wastewater and water management systems offered by Evac with the marine growth prevention, hull corrosion protection and desalinators produced by Cathelco.
Particular attention is being focused on the Evac Evolution ballast water treatment system which has enormous global sales potential in the years ahead.
Mr Mohn said that there is already a strong affinity between many business areas, particularly in terms of producing reverse osmosis desalinators and potable water treatment systems. The aim will be to capitalise on this expertise, uniting technical capabilities to enhance products and levels of service.
At the same time, areas such as after sales integration will be examined to arrive at an outcome that provides the best possible service to customers around the world.
