The journey began over four and a half decades ago, in a five hundred square feet office space at Lahore’s historical WAPDA house. We had a vision to embark on a journey to create Pakistan’s leading engineering enterprise. Over the years, the spirit of our founders inspired our people to not just achieve the ordinary but the extraordinary. This belief became the foundation of Pakistan’s leading multinational conglomerate; Descon.

Today, Descon comprises Pakistan’s leading engineering enterprise, Descon Engineering, with a wealth of expertise in sectors such as Oil & Gas, Cement, Power, Hydro Power, Dams/Barrages/ Canals, Fertilizer, Renewable Energy, Sugar, Industrial, Chemical and Petrochemicals. We are renowned specialists in EPC, Construction, Maintenance/Industrial Services, Infrastructure, Manufacturing, and Automation & Control projects. Descon’s global presence spans the GCC, (including Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman), Iraq, Pakistan and South Africa.

Descon also owns and operates chemical and power plants, with allied interests in inspection and testing. Descon’s chemicals business comprises Descon Oxychem Limited. Our power business takes shape in the form of Descon Power Solutions (DPS), providing power plant operations and maintenance (O&M) services for thermal and renewable power plants in Pakistan.
