Working closely with our original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to provide the best power solutions
A commitment to collaboration defines the Perkins approach to doing business.
We work alongside you at every step of the process-from initial design, through validation and production, to ongoing support in the field-to deliver power,
service and productivity in exactly the way you want it.

A collaborative approach
Collaboration starts with a conversation. We listen to what you need from our products and take pride in being able to meet those needs exactly.
We work with you to develop the engines that power your products-that build and improve the infrastructure society depends on.

Design with purpose
With Perkins engines at work in more than 5,000 applications around the globe, there's no question we know how to customise solutions for different requirements.
We design for power, reliability and durability-and to meet your unique needs-every time.

Tested for the real world
Design matters, but the only way to ensure our engines live up to your expectations is to put them to the test.
We go to great lengths with our engine validation - on test beds
and as part of machine systems in real applications - to deliver a product that's proven to work when you need it most.

A global network of customers calls for a global network of manufacturing facilities-each held to the same rigorous process and quality standards.
The Perkins team comes together to build the very best engines and deliver consistent power to you, wherever you are in the world.

we're a better team when we collaborate with you. We work to be your trusted engine provider at every stage of the journey.
