Nowadays, it is essential to face any complex problems associated with the development, operation and upgrade of existing or new technologies and the related equipment by applying multiple engineering and technolgy approaches.

With the goal of obtaining the best solution available and maximizing effectiveness and efficiency, it is necessary to understand the implicit problems of these technologies and the related equipment during all stages.

This task can only be achieved by applying all the engineering disciplines involved in the design, fabrication, start-up and operation phases together with a comprehensive knowledge and vast experience in different industrial fields.

CADE combines advanced capabilities in process and mechanical engineering working collectively with its clients to achieve these objectives.

CADE supports its client by providing custom-made advanced engineering solutions adjusted to suit the nature of the client's projects and technical capabilities.
