The Generator Company has established itself as a leading Supplier, Installer, Hire Specialist and Service Provider for industrial generators and related
equipment throughout the world. Our success has been built upon delivering excellence in design, innovation, quality and commitment to our customers.
Our standard range of industrial generators is powered by both diesel and gas engines ranging from 8 kWe to 3,000 kWe utilising a single engine. For
larger power requirements we utilise digital multi-set paralleling control systems from a range of manufacturers including Cummins, Deep Sea, DEIF,
Megacon and ComAP that are integrated into our own Single Generator or Multi Paralleling Control Systems.
Our experience and expertise also extends to the design and manufacture of Control Systems and Switchgear for Power Generation related projects
