Powering Ahead
For over 50 years, Generac has provided innovative design and superior manufacturing.

Generac ensures superior quality by designing and manufacturing most of its generator components, including
alternators, enclosures and base tanks, control systems and communications software.

Generac’s gensets utilize a wide variety of options, configurations and arrangements, allowing us to meet the
standby power needs of practically every application.

Generac searched globally to ensure the most reliable engines power our generators. We choose only engines that
have already been proven in heavy-duty industrial applications under adverse conditions.

Generac is committed to ensuring our customers’ service support continues after their generator purchase.
