This year, we proudly celebrate our 70th anniversary. Founded in 1955 as a catering company, our Group has grown into a global provider of integrated catering, facility management, logistics, and camp construction services for remote environments.
Today, more than 6,000 colleagues work across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, supporting clients in the energy, mining, defense, government, humanitarian, and various industrial sectors.
A Legacy Built on Reliability
From our early days serving maritime operations, we quickly expanded into large-scale logistics and peacekeeping support. Major milestones include managing catering and logistics for the Trans-Gabonese railway in 1974, supporting 8,000 UN troops in Namibia in 1988, and providing services to NATO and UN missions across the Balkans, Afghanistan, and other international operations.
Over the decades, we have also delivered engineering and infrastructure projects in complex environments — from UNMISS facilities in South Sudan to the Mosul Dam rehabilitation compound in Iraq.
Expanding to Meet Global Needs
In recent years, we have strengthened our presence in Sub-Saharan Africa with the creation of ES-KO Congo, ES-KO Mozambique, and ES-KO Gabon, alongside the acquisition of International Facilities Services (IFS) in 2024 and Campania Alimentare in Italy in 2025.
Today, leading organizations rely on our expertise. Among our partners are Perenco in Gabon and Congo, Coca-Cola in Mozambique, and Barloworld in Angola, along with many other industrial and institutional clients.
For seventy years, our journey has been shaped by people, resilience, and trust. In some of the world’s most demanding environments, our teams have worked tirelessly to create places where people can live, work, and feel supported — even far from home.
