Introducing Globeco S.p.A.
The Company was established in 1984 under the name of Ecolmare as an associate company of the Italmare Group, with investment focused on environmental research and development, especially marine environment.

In May 1999, Gobeco S.p.A. was established as a result of the merger of Ecolmare and Sviluppo Italia, a commercial bank whose major shareholder is the Ministry of Finance of Italy. The company continued to provide effective solutions to diverse environmental problems utilizing tools, equipment, vessels and personnel with relevant expertise and experience.

Introducing Asian Marine Services PLC (ASIMAR)
Asian Marine Services Co., Ltd. was established in 1981 with registered capital of THB 200,000.- as a Marine Survey Company. Later the company changed its initial objective to become a shipyard, providing shipbuilding and ship repair services in response to growing demand for high standard shipyard operation and increased its registered capital to THB 20 million. The Company also purchased a floating dock from Japan, ASIMAR 1, to support its operation. In 1995, an additional floating dock was acquired, ASIMAR 2, while registered capital was increased to THB 120 million and THB 170 million respectively, and was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand under the name Asian Marine Services Public Company Limited or ASIMAR. In 2005, the Company entered into a joint venture with GLOBECO S.p.A. from Italy, a world leader in marine ecology and environmental services, to establish Ecomarine Company Limited (a subsidiary) whose main business focus is to provide marine environment services and pollution control such as elimination of water hyacinth, garbage and other waste, oil spill, etc. for clients in both the public and private sectors, in Thailand as well as in Asia, with the Company (ASIAMAR) taking charge of shipbuilding to support such operation of this new business.
