Having supplied cooling solutions to all industries since 1986, specialist thermal solutions provider Industrial Water Cooling (IWC) has been acquired by global leader in air-cooled condensers and cooling towers NEXT Cooling Group to redefine the global cooling solutions landscape.

IWC, which joined the group earlier this year, has a well- established footprint across sub-Saharan Africa and has built a strong reputation by successfully completing several complex online refurbishments of large natural draft cooling towers for State-owned power utility Eskom and chemicals and energy company Sasol, making it arguably the world’s most experienced contractor in this specialised field. IWC has also completed many large field-erected cooling tower installation and refurbishment projects.

Additionally, IWC is a specialist in mine cooling, having partnered with many top engineering, procurement and construction contractors to successfully deliver mine cooling projects across Africa and as far afield as Brazil.

The acquisition of IWC enhances NEXT Cooling’s collective strength and reinforces its commitment to delivering cooling solutions across power generation, oil and gas, mining and minerals processing and general industry.

Together, with their combined expertise and global reach, the group can offer clients a powerful competitive edge – leveraging a diverse portfolio of world-class projects, global supply chains and opening new opportunities in key markets for field-erected cooling towers, air-cooled condensers, bulk air coolers and slurry and solution cooling towers.

With offices in Switzerland, South Africa, India and Australia, the group provides global coverage backed by local expertise.
