DGE was established in the city of Newcastle, England in 1985. DGE is a professional engineering company focusing on dust extraction, fume and air pollution control systems. The main engineering focus of DGE is on fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators, wet scrubbers and mechanical collectors. By the late 80’s, DGE had achieved a substantial reputation in the environmental control market in UK with superior engineering services and competitive prices. Because of the sluggish development of the UK and European industries in the early 90’s, DGE started to seek out work in the international market, particularly in South Africa. DGE’s continuous efforts generated rewarding results in cement, aluminum, power, incineration and other industries. In 1991, a strategic decision was made to transfer the company to Johannesburg, South Africa in order to facilitate the high levels of service and keep the competitive prices in what had become our primary market. Since 1996, DGE had set up several independent engineering companies and acquired shareholdings in other engineering companies in associated industries. DGE has since signed technology-sharing agreement with leading environmental engineering companies. Cooperation with these companies has substantially strengthened DGE’s engineering capability. Through its associated companies and subsidiaries, DGE has a presence in Australia, SA and China. With China’s entry to WTO in 2002, DGE made a strategic decision to set up DGE China. In the first year of operations, DGE China acquired contracts in various industries, such as cement, incineration, aluminum, chemical and power generation. The cement industry is DGE China’s main field of operation, accounting for approximately 65% of total turnover, with a focus on kiln/raw mill, clinker cooler, cement and coal mill filters. DGE has built up strategic cooperation relationships with important Chinese companies who are key players in their own fields. These exciting achievements allow the dedication of more effort, attention and resources In 2009, Hamon acquired a majority shareholding in DGE China. The joint goal of the companies is to increase the market share of Hamon in bag filters on a worldwide basis. By utilizing DGE’s filter specialization together with Hamon’s multinational network, engineering and project management expertise, the possibilities for growth and expansion remain limitless.
