A Team of Pioneers
Enginuity Global began its journey with the visionary minds of Dan Ducote, Rich Major and Eric Belgard. United by a shared passion for innovation and excellence, they launched our Automation and Control Unit, which revolutionized processes and efficiency. From optimizing extraction processes to enhancing safety protocols, we started transforming the landscape of the oil and gas industry immediately.

A Year of Expansion and Growth
As the tides of innovation swept through, we experienced exponential growth. Our Electrical Engineering department took flight, propelling us to new heights. With this expansion, we not only doubled our client base but also found ourselves in need of a larger home base, symbolizing our upward trajectory.

Anticipating Needs, Adding Dimensions
A keen eye for industry trends led us to identify a crucial gap, and in response, we added a new Field Services department. This strategic move allowed us to provide comprehensive solutions, ensuring that Enginuity Global remained at the forefront of dynamic industry demands.
