Ecolog International: Synopsis

Odyssey of Ecolog

Ecolog began operations in the early 90s in Germany. The company was set up to initially provide services for the German army deployed during the Balkan crisis; it also extended its services to the U.S. army. The firm has also offered its supply for missions like KFOR, ISAF in Afghanistan and Iraqi freedom. Since then the company marched forward and expanded its services to meet clients’ requirements across several industries.

Within a short period of performance, the company augmented its service portfolio from few support services to a whole range of integrated services, facility management, water treatment, waste management, catering, fuel supply and distribution. After a few years, Ecolog emerged as a reliable partner to support missions in areas where there was limited infrastructure in place. It was a significant and strategic direction for a service company in remote and challenging areas, surpassing service levels already provided by more established companies.

The company’s central vision is to enable its customers to focus on their core business anywhere and everywhere. And its mission is to become a global provider of intelligent and integrated services and solutions.
