What Centurion Group does

Centurion Group is a UK-headquartered, privately-held equipment rental, sales, and services group serving critical industries operating in remote and challenging environments. Founded in 2001 in Asia Pacific and backed by energy services-focused private equity firm SCF Partners, the business has been built through a combination of organic regional build-out and a sustained acquisition programme, and now operates across five regions — US, Canada, UK & Europe, MENA, and Asia Pacific — with 93 facilities, more than 2,900 employees, and customer delivery in over 60 countries.

The group operates six core product lines: Accommodation & Modular, Lifting & Cranes (45T–715T mobile cranes), Power & Equipment (air, steam, generators, hydraulic power units), Pressure Control (including the proprietary Hydralok greaseless frac valve), Subsea Services (including the proprietary Gladiator 2 ROV control system), and Water & Wastewater Solutions. Proprietary or branded technology platforms include Hydralok, Sandcat (next-generation flowback and drill-out tank), Gladiator 2, Trido SOLAIR (solar-powered instrument air compressors and chemical injection pumps), and a portfolio of acquired specialist brands (H2M Offshore Accommodation, Specialist Services, BBB Remote Site Services, WestWater Enterprises, Rapid Camps, Althoff Crane, Trand Inc., Aerial Platforms Limited, Kabin Hire) retained under the Centurion umbrella.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring equipment rental of accommodation, cranes, generators, pressure control, water/wastewater, and subsea assets; one-time equipment sales (manufactured modular and accommodation units, pressure control packages); and professional services including maintenance, inspection, refurbishment, fleet management, engineering, and project support. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific under multi-year contracts. The group goes to market through direct enterprise field sales organised regionally by industry, targeting Oil & Gas, Renewables, Minerals, Infrastructure, Defence, and Government customers. Draft FY'25 proforma revenue was disclosed at $564M with proforma EBITDA of $128M, incorporating pre-acquisition trading of acquisitions completed through December 2025.
