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, UK.
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.
