Simon Carves Engineering Ltd is a British, full-service Process Engineering Contractor headquartered in Manchester, United Kingdom. Now owned by the parent company PL Engineering, part of the Punj Lloyd Group.
History
The Business was founded in 1878 by Henry Simon after he visited the Besseges works at Terrenoire and saw the potential for the coke oven business in development by Francois Carves. He secured the patent rights to this innovative technology and in due course established the company known as Simon Carves.
In 1890, Henry Simon left note to his sons, who were to inherit control of the company, urging them to acquire a sound technical education and to keep close in touch with the scientific development throughout the world. His desire for them to be in a continuous search for engineering specialities and patents which would be used to improve the efficiency of large scale industrial processes in Britain and elsewhere, has eked into the company mentality and remains a leading factor in Simon Carves Engineering’s approach to business today.[1]
