Our Company Timeline
Empteezy Ltd is founded, starting its journey with the support of a local steel fabrication company for manufacturing.
Empteezy takes a significant step by establishing its own workshop near Livingston, demonstrating its commitment to growth and self-reliance.
Empteezy moves to its current site, solidifying its position and expanding its reach in the industry.
A major milestone occurs as Empteezy acquires Delahaye Industries in Nantes, France, leading to rapid expansion and a move beyond a single-site operation.
Empteezy collaborates with its Belgian distributor to form Empteezy Benelux, fostering mutual success and broader market presence.
The innovative Romold is born, using rotational moulding to create cutting-edge plastic spill pallets.
Empteezy takes another step into the international arena, launching Empteezy Iberica, a new manufacturing site and sales office in Barcelona, Spain.
Empteezy's expansion continues with the acquisition of Schoeller Industries from the German company Schoeller & Hoelch, which is later renamed Schoeller Industries.
Empteezy partners with the Messina family to establish Empteezy Italia, forging a fruitful joint venture in the Italian market.
Schoeller GmbH was established in Dusseldorf, Germany, as a pivotal component of Empteezy's strategic commitment to seamlessly deliver top-tier spill solutions to our valued customers.
Empteezy Italia experiences change as the Messina family moves on to new ventures, exemplifying Empteezy's embrace of change and evolution.
