SIMMONS EDECO is the joint forces of Simmons Group — a Canadian company that began operations as a drilling contractor in 1962 — and EDECO (English Drilling Equipment Company) which was founded in 1931 with the manufacturing of oilfield and water well drilling equipment. In 1996 EDECO joined the Simmons Group and in January 2012 the company was collectively renamed SIMMONS EDECO to better reflect the organization’s global operations and enable better worldwide recognition.
