Perkins Engines Company was founded in 1932 in Peterborough, United Kingdom. It is one of the world’s earliest engine manufacturers, with an annual production of nearly 400,000 units.

Perkins primarily produces diesel and natural gas engines, offering a wide range of specifications and models, with power output covering a broad spectrum. Known for their fuel efficiency, reliability, and durability, Perkins engines are widely used in agriculture, construction, marine, and power generation sectors. For example, in the construction industry, they provide strong power for equipment like excavators; in the power generation sector, their diesel generator sets ranging from 7 kW to 1811 kW deliver excellent performance.

In 1998, Perkins was acquired by the U.S.-based Caterpillar Inc. Today, it operates manufacturing facilities in 13 countries and provides high-quality products and after-sales service to customers through a global network of over 4,000 distribution points and service centers.
