About us
Our company, our values
Safety, Performance and Reliability are the core values of Duiker which we express in all the products we manufacture. Over the years we have seen our presence extending from New Zealand to Alaska and from Argentina to Siberia making us a truly global company. With our technology extending to a wide range of processes and industries, our roots however have remained firmly embedded in the petrochemical sector, specifically manufacturing combustion equipment for sulphur recovery units which remains our largest market today.
Our expertise came from a long way
As a machine factory, we started with the manufacturing of burners and associated equipment. As an engineering firm, Duiker supplies much more than that. With our expertise in process combustion equipment covering many industries, we are often involved in projects from as early as the stage of feasibility study until the decommissioning activities and in every step in between. For our customers it simply boils down to the following: Improve your technology. Meet your Targets. Lower Your Costs.
