18 m — About Virtus
A family firm, in the business for forty-five years.
Virtus Ltd has been sourcing and supplying water well drilling equipment since the 1980s, run by Managing Director Edward Stuart Eaves. What began as a small trading operation has grown into a dependable link between manufacturers and the drilling crews, NGOs and utilities who need their equipment to arrive on time — wherever the well is being sunk, on projects worldwide.
Many of the products Virtus moves are sold into developing countries, where reliable well equipment is hardest to come by and matters most.
