Acquisitions support expansion
To expand its regional service offerings, two acquisitions were made in 2018 allowing customers in the electricity transmission and distribution markets as well as high-energy demanding industries to benefit from a comprehensive and tailor-made transformer service package also in Germany and Continental Europe.
EOS was founded as a 50:50 joint venture between the electrical oils businesses of Carless Refining & Marketing Ltd and Castrol UK Ltd back in 1999. However, the business originated in the UK after World War II, when crude oil was a rare and a valuable resource. The country’s’ industry had to find solutions to re-use the existing raw materials and the beginning of the EOS “Closed-loop” model was born. Today, customers are still utilising this business model based on the increasing awareness that existing resources can be recycled and treated in a sustainable manner.
Back then and now, EOS is responsible for all insulating oil needs – from mobile processing and regeneration to transformer oil collection, sample testing and vacuum oil filling.
