Description
Summary:American energy engineering and construction group Babcock and Wilcox was founded in 1867. Babcock delivered and designed equipment for power and industrial sectors, and it first supplied boilers in South Africa in the early 1920s. The first Babcock company was registered in South Africa in 1946. In the fifties, Babcock purchased Triplejay Equipment and began to distribute various brands of construction equipment. Babcock's decision to go ahead was based on expanding its fleet and providing access to the Cape market, an area where Babcock had not had a presence. Expansion through the merger provided an expanded fleet, new markets and an enhanced, experienced management team.
