Where we stand
At Perkins, our customers are at the heart of everything we do.
We design engines that you need, and we listen carefully to your voice to understand your specific requirements.
Then, in our unique technology integration workshops (TIWs), we work alongside you to establish how best to integrate the engine into your specific machine. This saves you time and money, and provides a robust, reliable and precisely optimised package.
This close customer relationship reflects our key business values of integrity, commitment, excellence, teamwork and sustainability – the highest international standards in everything we do for you.
Quality products delivered by quality people.
Getting to market
Perkins and its global network of 67 trained distributors work with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver the right engine and aftermarket service solutions.
These local distributors offer access to detailed local knowledge about operating conditions, emission standards and other issues. They provide the services of highly trained application engineers, either from Perkins or from their own team.
Either way, customers enjoy the benefits of dealing with highly skilled professionals, armed with the latest information, and committed to the same Perkins values.
Since December 1997, Perkins has been part of Caterpillar, creating the world’s largest diesel engine manufacturer – and putting the seal on our role as a global company at the forefront of engineering technology.
