Diverse Supplies announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Egyptian Projects Operation and Maintenance (EPROM) during EGYPES 2026, held from March 30 to April 1 at the Egypt International Exhibition Centre. The signing took place in the presence of Eng Salah Abdulkarim, Executive President, Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC).

Signed by Eng Hossam Assad, Chair and CEO, EPROM; and Eng Sameh Roshdy, MD, Diverse Supplies, the MOU focuses on improving energy efficiency and thermal system performance in Egypt’s oil and gas sector through advanced steam system optimisation. The collaboration will centre on digitised testing and monitoring of steam traps; and steam network audits designed to identify inefficiencies faster and support stronger operational decision-making.

The agreement brings together EPROM’s operational reach in Egypt’s petroleum and gas industry with Diverse Supplies’ specialisation in steam engineering and energy-efficiency solutions as Armstrong International’s authorised representative in Egypt. EPROM is a leading operations and maintenance provider in Egypt’s gas and petroleum sector and a key EGPC technical arm, while Diverse Supplies focuses on steam engineering, steam trap surveys, steam system audits, condensate recovery and broader industrial utility solutions.

This collaboration comes at a time when efficiency, reliability and digital visibility are becoming more important across refining and process industries. EPROM’s recent emphasis on digitisation and integrated operational systems aligns closely with the goals of the new MOU, which is intended to help reduce thermal losses, improve asset performance and support more disciplined energy management across steam networks.

“Signing this MOU with EPROM marks an important step for Diverse Supplies and for the broader effort to improve steam system performance in Egypt’s energy sector,” said Eng Sameh Roshdy, MD, Diverse Supplies. “Steam losses often go unseen, but their impact on efficiency, reliability and operating cost is significant. Through this collaboration, we aim to bring more visibility, faster diagnosis, and stronger control to thermal systems in refineries and oil and gas facilities.”

For Egypt’s industrial market, the significance of the agreement lies in its practical focus viz., better trap management, better data and faster audits that can translate into measurable operating gains. The partnership also reflects a wider shift in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) energy markets toward smarter maintenance, digital asset oversight and efficiency-led performance improvement.

The announcement was made at EGYPES, a regional energy platform, where government leaders, national oil companies, operators and technology providers convene to shape the future of energy across Egypt, North Africa, and the Mediterranean.
