CATCO Engineering AG is a private company established in Zürich, Switzerland for providing primarily electro-technical industrial system projects, product supplies and services to the minerals, oil and gas, mining, metals, cement, and other process industries and utilities. Following on the successful international track record of CATCO International AB, CATCO Engineering AG was established in 2007 in Switzerland to fulfil a huge demand for wider electro-technical industrial engineering and contracting. CATCO Engineering AG is staffed with professionals recruited from leading global companies who have long and proven track records in company management, project facilitation, project sales, supply management, engineering and project management providing the expertise for a wide range of types and sizes of projects around the world. The CATCO companies are vendor-independent and vendor-neutral, dynamic, flexible, and entrepreneurial.

Together, the CATCO companies are associated with the Swiss holding company nepers AG, a syndicate of private individuals and companies resulting in a wide market network and strong financial security, specialising in international project facilitation including arranging financial engineering and project financing. With nepers AG, the CATCO companies focus on trading
and engineering of complex deliveries. Other companies in the nepers group focus on different areas, for example Cephyr AG on renewable energy projects. nepers AG is extensively involved in project development and cost-efficient financing and major projects are preferably implemented off-balance sheet. Financing of the own company activities is almost entirely by equity and thus the CATCO companies are virtually debt-free. Cash flow is important for us and our return on capital is high due to a careful credit policy and efficient project management.

The main businesses of the CATCO companies are:

Procurement services
Engineering, project management and contracting for industrial plants and utilities,
