Aggreko Notes for Editors
Aggreko plc is the world leader in the supply of temporary power and temperature control solutions. Aggreko employs
over 3,800 people operating from 148 locations. In 2010 we served
customers in about 100 countries, and had revenues of approximately
USD $1.9bn. Aggreko plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange
(AGK.L), is a member of the FTSE-100 index, and is headquartered in
Scotland.
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.
