Aggreko provides power and temperature
control solutions to customers who need them either very quickly,
or for a short or indeterminate length of time. Examples would be
the supply of power to an industrial site which needs to service
its permanent power supply, supplying a whole city in times of
power shortage, or providing a major sporting event with power and
cooling systems. We serve our customers either through our
148 service centres, which we call the Local Business, or globally
through our International Power Projects business.
In the Local
business, which accounts for about half of our revenues, we
hire our equipment to customers, who then operate it for
themselves, although we retain responsibility for servicing and
maintaining it. In the
International Power Projects business, which also
accounts for about half of our revenues, we operate as a power
producer. We install and operate power plants and we charge our
customers both for providing the generating capacity, and for the
electricity we produce. We design and manufacture equipment
specifically for these requirements in our factory in Dumbarton,
Scotland.
Recent customers include the
Beijing 2008 Olympics, the Vancouver 2010
Olympics and the power utilities in over 50 countries
including the UK, France,
Angola, Kenya,
Indonesia, Bangladesh,
Venezuela, Chile, Brazil and the
USA.
In 2010 we fulfilled almost
40,000 customer’s assignments and when researched, 68% of them gave
us a recommendation of 9 or 10 out of 10.
