About Aggreko
Aggreko plc is the world leader in the supply of temporary power
and temperature control solutions. Aggreko employs over 4,000
people operating from over 144 locations. In 2009 we served
customers in about 100 countries, and had revenues of approximately
£1.0bn (USD $1.6bn or Euros €1.1bn). 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 144
service centre’s, 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.
