Essenco Information

ESSENCO (initially Nallaseth, Nair & Co) was established in 1986 when companies involved in plumbing contracts in South India were mostly small family-run businesses. Extensive international experience possessed by members of the senior management enabled the establishment of a well-structured professional organisation with a fresh approach to the profession. At a time when Plumbing was a neglected profession wherein no education/training programme existed, ESSENCO pioneered in conducting in-house training for engineers and supervisors. This resulted in the creation of a team of talented, technically sound plumbing professionals. Many of these individuals have established their own consulting and contracting firms over the last two decades. Realising early the corporate responsibility to contribute towards improvement of standards in the plumbing profession, ESSENCO actively participated in promotion of the Indian Plumbing Association (IPA), the national body representing the plumbing industry. Mr. Sudhakaran Nair is one of the Founder Members of the IPA and has been its National President since 2006. Mr. Nair was elected to the Executive Board of the World Plumbing Council (WPC) the global body representing plumbing organisations in 2005 and served the Council for six years as Director. He was re-elected in September, 2011 for a third term of two years as Deputy Chairman and then as Chairman in 2013. The company continues to contribute substantial resources for its voluntary work at IPA and WPC. ESSENCO has maintained an in-house design department right from its inception and was probably the first Plumbing Contractor in India to offer detailed Working Drawings as part of its services. What was seen as an exception in the eighties has now become the norm in the industry. The core principle of the company to approach Plumbing as a passion rather than a business has been inculcated in all its employees. This has been a key value differentiator for our discerning Clients and probably our main success factor. ...
