More than a century after its founding, Elliott Company has evolved into Ebara Elliott Energy( EEE)- and the business has never been more focused on the future. Under the ownership of Japan’ s Ebara Corporation since 2000, and formally rebranded in 2023, EEE is now executing a bold strategy designed to secure its place at the forefront of the energy industry for generations to come.
“ What is interesting about Elliott Company and Ebara Corporation is that they were founded around the same time, with Elliott in 1910 and Ebara in 1912,” begins Shane Reph, Chief Operating Officer of EEE. The two organizations, one in the US and the other in Japan, followed separate paths until they finally converged in 1968, when Ebara began manufacturing Elliott equipment under license. These ties were strengthened in 1987 when Ebara was one of the investors supporting the Elliott management team’ s MBO from UTC. Ultimately, the new millennium saw the formal union of the two businesses and today EEE stands as part of Ebara Corporation and is a world-class manufacturer of rotating equipment, serving critical applications in oil and gas, refining, chemical processing, and power generation.
“ Supplying turbomachinery equipment for petrochemical refineries, ethylene, and LNG is our traditional business,” Shane confirms.“ We still fully support all those products, but we are also now pivoting to support the transition to green energy and investing significantly in the equipment needed to move into areas such as hydrogen and ramp our ammonia segment back up. We’ re also focusing on pumps and cryogenic solutions – we’ ve really evolved from being a compressor company into an overall solution provider and we’ re still developing.”
Each new area requires a different level of development.“ Carbon capture and storage can use our existing products, with some adjustments to increase efficiency,” explains Shane.“ Hydrogen is more challenging
