A global company with a local presence
Our manufacturing and parts distribution facilities are spread across the world because we want to be close to our customers. They are looking for faster deliveries and shorter lead times, and our local presence means we can deliver what they want.
“We're a global company with global reach- but we pride ourselves on being where our customers are, and understand the different requirements of local markets around the world.” Annette Ward, corporate and marketing communications manager
Being where our customers are also means we understand the different requirements of different local markets. You can be sure that your Perkins engine will meet local emissions standards and operate as designed in varying climatic conditions.
So whether it’s a complete engine or a spare part, by manufacturing close to our customers we can keep waiting times to an absolute minimum
Wherever you are in the world, you’re always local to Perkins.
Understanding you and your business
For us, putting you the customer at the centre of everything we do is more than just a slogan. We know about the demands of the sector in which you are operating – and we’re also determined to understand the specific demands of your business.
Through our Technology Integration Workshops we work alongside our Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) customers to understand the precise needs and requirements of their applications. As an OEM, you save time and money in the integration process, and you get the very best service from your Perkins engine.
