CRC Evans, the leading welding and coating specialist for energy and infrastructure projects, has secured $37million in new global contracts in January 2026, marking a record month for the company.
The contract wins highlight the continued momentum of CRC Evans’ growth strategy that has seen significant investment in the sector and technological diversification, while also growing its global footprint through international expansion.
The awards also reinforce CRC Evans’ position as a trusted, collaborative partner for leading energy and infrastructure providers throughout the globe.
Mauro Piasere, CEO at CRC Evans, said: “These latest wins bring great momentum to our growth strategy for 2026.
“We are planning to continue to explore new M&A opportunities to expand our footprint and expertise. Our current global footprint covers every continent and every energy environment, from offshore platforms to remote deserts, from deep water to dense urban grids. We go wherever complexity demands.”
CRC has been delivering high-integrity welding and coatings solutions for more than 90 years.
The company now operates a global business across North and South America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe, supporting and enabling energy and critical infrastructure projects, whilst meeting the Gold Standard in HSE and Governance.
A key example of this is the successful completion of the first phase of the Ruya project in the Middle East for COOEC, which has seen CRC Evans completing 11,000 welds with the lowest repair rate in the industry and enabling early completion on the project, which is delivering critical infrastructure for Qatar.

CRC Evans has deep experience in traditional energy markets, and its quality, delivery and expertise have spread into adjacent sectors as it remains focused on delivering the benchmark service in terms of project integrity, performance and safety. Further sector diversification will bring international expansion and new growth.
Looking ahead, CRC Evans is combining field-based engineering expertise with continued investment in proprietary technologies and innovation. This includes AI-driven welding and coating engineering, enabling fit-for-purpose design and engineering of conventional and energy transition assets, as well as real-time assessment of welding and coating field operations essential to improve performance and deliver data for asset integrity monitoring for energy partners.
As part of its global growth strategy, CRC Evans is set to announce a major investment to strengthen its energy and industrial capabilities. The investment will establish a next-generation supersite in the Northwest of the UK, set to be one of the largest of its kind globally, and a Centre of Excellence for end-to-end specialty welding and coating.
Mauro Piasere said: “We now have the largest fleet of specialist equipment in the industry. We don’t just show up, we adapt, innovate and deliver certainty when it matters most.
“Ultimately our strategy and purpose are enabling us to stand alongside the world’s leading energy and infrastructure providers to develop the solutions that will enable the delivery of future energy and infrastructure projects.”
