A history of Pipe System success
0%
Since our establishment in 1994, epco has worked to supply many prestigious projects locally, nationally, and internationally – delivering pipe system expertise and products synonymous with quality, to our customers.
During the course of our history, epco has been requested to assist with many high-status and in many cases, innovative projects that have changed the way we think about our industry and the way we endeavour to supply our customers, ensuring we meet their needs every time and that their pipework projects, when supplied by epco are always a huge success.
Below is a brief history of our company, some of our key moments and some of our proudest achievements.
Our Earliest Pipework Projects
Very few projects have been as technically challenging as the L'Aquarium" build in Barcelona.
The aquarium park is based in Port Vell, a harbour in Catalonia, Spain. There are 35 different tanks in total, which house over 11,000 animals and 450 different species of fish. There are around 5 million litres of water contained within the park, requiring huge amounts of our high quality pipework.
The project was a lengthy one and we are extremely proud to have been involved with such an important and large-scale operation. We provided quality UPVC materials for many different elements of this project.
Our First £1M Turnover
We decided early on to focus on plastic pipework systems, assisting us to develop into a trustworthy supplier right from the very beginning. As a company, we offer products on an international scale in order to facilitate continuous growth. Just over a year after we started the business, epco achieved its first one-million-pound turnover; a fantastic milestone for the company and one we are extremely proud of.
Our New Offices in 2009
Fast forward 12 or 13 years and epco move into much larger offices and warehouse facilities in Leeds. We have over 45,000 square-feet here with substantial warehouse space too. We’re also able to boast a large yard with two loading bays and an integrated office. Our trade counter allows customers to come and collect their products from site and take advantage of our huge UK stockholding. This continuous growth and development is down to our expert team of dedicated specialists that have allowed epco to grow over the last two decades.
Our Biggest Achievement
Our biggest achievement to date is without doubt the Senegalese Faleme River pipeline project in West Africa.
This project took place way back in 2009 but remains our single largest order to date, in terms of both cost and materials. The order was worth a staggering €2.3M and took 89 x 40-foot containers to deliver PE pipe product. In many ways, this was the biggest project that epco have delivered.
Let’s Make History Together
