Our history
Although under different names the history of our company starts back in the last century around 1895 when a company named 'Motor' was founded, merging 1923 with the company 'Columbus' to form Motor-Columbus Ltd as it is known today.
Motor-Columbus Ltd operated through the world for many decades playing a leading role especially in planning, financing, constructing and operating power generation, transmission and distribution systems.
In 1969 the Engineering division of Motor Columbus Ltd became a separate company called Motor-Columbus Consulting Engineers Inc still belonging 100% to the Motor-Columbus Group.
By that time the nuclear power programs of Switzerland and the surrounding European countries was being developed and Motor-Columbus Consulting Engineers Inc was one of the major players.
In 1990 the Motor-Columbus Group was restructured and the engineering division was renamed Colenco Power Engineering Ltd.
In 2007 Colenco became part of the international ÅF Group.
Colenco‘s services continue on, concentrating on supplying consulting and engineering services worldwide in all areas of energy and environ-mental technologies.
