Industrial & Marine Silencers Ltd. was incorporated on April 26th 1991 and commenced trading on July 1991. Operating initially from a 400m² (4000 sq. ft.) premises. The standard product lines were exhaust gas silencers and air intake attenuators for the power generation industry. The Company, within a very short period of time, became a major player in their designated area of activity which was supplying equipment for all the major Diesel engine manufacturers, Generator set builders and Mechanical services installers. Over a period of time the product range of the company has risen to include Boiler blow-down and Steam, Air and Gas vent silencers, Small gas turbine silencers, stand alone Catalytic Converters or combined Catalytic Silencer and Soot filters. In 1994 the company moved a few metres down the road to a 900m² (9000 sq. ft.) premises to cater for the increasing levels of production required by the growing number of world-wide customers. As the company progressed it became evident that even this move would not satisfy the increasing requirement for even larger exhaust gas silencers, steam vent silencers and air intake attenuator units the market was demanding. This is particularly true with new installations on so-called ‘Green field sites where local environmental and national legislation require unobtrusive noise levels. This eventually led to the design and building of a 1600m³ (16,000 sq. ft.) purpose-built manufacturing plant to produce the largest types of equipment currently required. The new facility with its additional ability to double the manufacturing area puts the company at the forefront of the Industrial silencer and associated equipment market.
