Incorporated in 1980, Wenco was established to meet the special needs of fabrication and construction companies who required rolled or pressed steel work, but could not afford or justify the investment in the heavy equipment required to carry out this work.
In 1985 Mario Peca (the founder and Managing Director) embarked on a business plan to expand the company's facilities, equipment and services to directly satisfy the ever growing needs of the oil, gas and mining sectors. In 1993 the practical completion of this plan was achieved.
