COMPANY OVERVIEW -

After liberating oil facilities in the coastal town of Soyo in Angola in 1993 the company was approached by the Angolan government to help reconstitute and train its 16 Brigade. This involvement set a blue print for services rendered by the firm to other governments and commercial entities, which reflect the capabilities advertised by the company in their corporate literature.

EO was a South African firm established in 1989 and closed in December 1998. From his humble beginnings to the fully fledged company EO became, the company has no parallel in recent corporate history. The history of the firm is amply documented and we encourage the reader to read and learn about it rather than to rush to wiki conclusions. We list many titles covering EO history in the Books section.
