Our Story:
From Allpipe to AE Global
1994
Our story began in 1994 with the founding of Allpipe Engineering. Established in Derry, Northern Ireland, we quickly earned a reputation for excellence in mechanical pipe fabrication, serving local industry with precision and reliability. However, as our clients' projects grew in complexity, so did our ambition. We recognised that the industry needed more than just a fabricator; it needed an integrated partner capable of managing the spaces between the disciplines.
2011
In a strategic move to close the gap between mechanical and electrical delivery, we launched our dedicated Electrical & Instrumentation division in 2011. This integration allowed us to rebrand as AE Global—a name that reflects our ability to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end engineering solutions across international borders.
2026
Today, operating from our expansive 21-acre facility in Derry, we employ over 140 skilled professionals. We have evolved from a local subcontractor into a single-source provider for multi-national giants in the Pharmaceutical, Power, and Industrial sectors.

Mission & Core Values
The Principles That Drive Us.
“To deliver complex engineering projects with absolute certainty—integrating safety, quality, and innovation to exceed client expectations.”
Safety First, Always:
We don’t just talk about safety; we live it. Our consistent recognition, including the prestigious RoSPA President’s Award, proves that we prioritise safety above all else.
Quality Without Compromise:
In the demanding sectors we operate in, quality cannot be compromised. We work to recognised quality standards, ensuring our work is delivered with the control, consistency and attention to detail required for critical project environments.
One Team, One Goal:
We believe in the power of integration. By combining Mechanical, Electrical, and Design teams under one roof, we eliminate disconnect between disciplines and take collective responsibility for project success.
Right First Time:
Through early planning, BIM coordination and off-site fabrication, we work to resolve project challenges before they reach site. This helps reduce rework, disruption and programme risk.
