Cochran's Egyptian Success Story

Cochran first supplied boilers to Eastern Company of Egypt back in 1984 and when they embarked on a major expansion Cochran were their chosen suppliers for the new boiler plant. Eastern Company are Egypt’s major processor of tobacco products and the project required 4 new 16 t/h, 17 bar boilers incorporating the latest plc control technology. Along with our representatives, Egyptian Engineering Agencies, we worked closely with the project consultants to ensure that the exacting standards and programme timescales could be met and after tough competition were awarded the contract. The boilers are due to be delivered in June and commissioned by Cochran in July 2009. Cochran will also be providing extensive operator training.

The client and his consultant recently visited our factory to inspect the boilers and witness their successful pressure testing. Pictured with Allan Shaw, Cochran Operations Manager is Dr Hany Khater, Consultant and Mr. Ahmed Talaat, Head of Energy Sector, Eastern Company.

Cochran has been working with EEA to supply well over 200 boilers into Egypt in the last 40 years. EEA has developed their capabilities over this time and offer full installation, service and maintenance support to our local customers.
