Controls & Electrics Pte. Ltd

1828, a year to remember in Singapore’s Corporate History, the year when a young Englishman, Edward Boustead founded a Company that has survived and grown through wars, riots and political upheavals, the birth pangs of separation and successive periods of recession and buoyancy. Trading in natural resources, spices, coconut, tobacco, tin, tea and silk were the core businesses in the early days when Boustead’s ships plied the China/Europe routes. Over the years, many names and brands became synonymous with the Company. These included CADBURY’s, JOHNNY WALKER, HENESSEY, LLOYDS amongst others. The Company itself grew and prospered. By the 1900’s, the Company that had its roots in Singapore had spread its wings all over South East Asia and Australia and eventually back to the mother country, England. Successive re-structuring resulted in the creation of separate entities in Malaysia, UK and Singapore, carrying the same name, listed on their respective stock exchanges and all major corporations in their own right. Today, the legacy of Edward Boustead continues with the same professional integrity that has stood the test of time. C & E , as Controls & Electrics is better known, commenced operations as a division of Boustead Services Pte Ltd and is primarily involved Real Time Process Control System Design and Implementation for Process Industries and the supply of electrical machines, instruments and accessories. Primary strengths are in the ability to deliver value -added solutions . In the process, several products/systems have been developed which are internationally accepted as high integrity control & safety solutions, particularly for the upstream oil and gas industries. The business was built from scratch based largely on the entrepreneurial spirit of its management. The enviable track record that has been built up over the years represents many years of day-and-night toil and the “WE CAN DO IT” attitude that is representative of the true Singapore spirit.
