Editor's Notes
Aggreko plc is the world leader in the supply of temporary power
and temperature control solutions. Aggreko employs over 6,000
people operating from 202 locations. In 2013 we served customers in
about 100 countries, and had revenues of approximately GBP 1.6bn (USD
2.5bn or Euros 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. For more information, please visit

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 202 service centres, which
we call the Local business, or globally through our 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 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 2014 FIFA World Cup
Brazil[TM], the Ryder Cup and
Cirque du Soleil and the power utilities in over 50 countries
including the UK, France,
Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil
and the USA.
In 2013 we fulfilled almost 48,000 customers' assignments and
72% of those who responded to our research gave us a recommendation
of 9 or 10 out of 10.
