JULY 2014 – Nigel Palfreeman, a 25-year resident of Stamford, takes his community roots seriously.

As managing director of Zeeco Europe, a subsidiary of USA-based Zeeco, Inc., Palfreeman and his staff of 50 employees believe in the power of teamwork both in the office and about town where they sponsor charity events and community-based causes throughout the year.

“I have lived in Stamford for 25 years and love the town where I have helped grow our business,” Palfreeman said.

That business is, of course, Zeeco, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of advanced combustion systems and environmental solutions for the refining, production, petrochemical, power, LNG, biogas and pharmaceutical industries. With 20 global locations, strategically located manufacturing facilities, and 1,000-plus professionals, Zeeco has executed projects in 74 countries with thousands of installations to its credit. Zeeco Europe serves as the company’s European headquarters, which also includes locations in Italy, France, Poland and Germany.

 

Extraordinary Business Growth

Zeeco Europe in 2011 embarked upon a multi-million pound expansion of its facility to keep pace with its exponential growth for low- and ultra-low NOx burners, flaring systems, thermal oxidisers, and a unique aftermarket parts and support team with the ability to service any manufacturer’s combustion products.

From its 3,500 square meter campus, Zeeco Europe recently earned its ISO 9001-2008 certifications for the manufacture and installation management of flares and incinerators, and the design, manufacture and installation of process and boiler burners. Achieving its ISO certifications recognizes Zeeco Europe’s achievement in meeting or exceeding stringent quality standards, and its ongoing commitment to advance processes, technologies and product integrity.

“We are delighted to offer our customers a higher standard of quality assurance by becoming ISO certified,” Palfreeman said. “This certification reflects not only our commitment to designing, manufacturing and testing the very best burners, flares, and thermal oxidisers in the industry, but implementing ongoing improvement processes that set Zeeco apart.”

 

Exceptional Community Leadership

For years the Zeeco team has rallied for numerous causes that directly impact the community of Stamford and its residents. Now, Palfreeman has announced that Zeeco Europe is the ground sponsor for the 2014-2015 season for Stamford A.F.C. Sponsorship of the new Borderville ground will initially last for two years. The company already sponsors the under15 team shirts.

“We are thrilled to be working with the club as it begins this exciting new chapter in its history and are very keen on the club’s youth policy,” he said. “It’s going to be an awesome new stadium; exactly what town and community need.”

Palfreeman added that he hopes the link will allow Zeeco to become even more involved in the community. “Wherever possible, we look to use local suppliers and employ local people. This partnership will involve us more closely with an important community activity.”
