Tricom Controls & Services

What Tricom Controls & Services does

Tricom Controls & Services is an Egyptian shareholding company founded in 2005 that specializes in industrial process automation, control systems integration, and instrumentation. The company delivers engineered solutions across four primary verticals — Oil & Gas, Power, Water & Wastewater, and general Industry — serving operators of large industrial assets such as refineries, power plants, water treatment facilities, and petrochemical complexes. Its customer base includes national petroleum companies and major utilities in Egypt and the wider MENA region, with named clients spanning PETROJET, Khalda Petroleum, Alexandria Petroleum, Cairo West Power Plant, and TCI Sanmar.

The company's core offering combines design, engineering, panel manufacturing, and commissioning of process control systems. Its workshop in New Cairo has a stated capacity of 30 control panels per month, supporting Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) up to SIL3 and delivering integrated solutions including Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Emergency Shutdown (ESD), fire and gas detection, SCADA, and turbine control. The firm operates a "Digital Solutions" line covering IIoT, SMART Cities, and Asset Management, suggesting incremental expansion beyond traditional process automation into data-centric services. It holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications issued by TÜV NORD, and in 2025 received the "Best Siemens Reference in Industrial Sector" award.

Tricom operates on a project-based, engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) and systems-integration revenue model, monetizing through equipment sales, integration services, and long-term support contracts. It is headquartered in New Cairo, Egypt, with a subsidiary established in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 2023 to serve Gulf-region clients. Authorized channel partnerships with Siemens (20+ years), Baker Hughes, Eaton, Schneider Electric, BASLER, Bühler, Bray, SWAN, Snap-On, Nokia, and PTC provide the OEM technology stack it integrates. With 66 employees as of the most recent annual meeting, Tricom positions itself as a mid-sized regional integrator rather than a turnkey EPC contractor.
