G&M Tex

What G&M Tex does

G&M EUROTEX LTD, trading as G&M Tex, is a UK-based custom AC diesel generator manufacturer and Lloyd's-accredited marine diesel engine service provider, founded in 1938 as Green Ace Motor Company Ltd and headquartered at Claydon Business Park, Ipswich, Suffolk. The company operates as a subsidiary of Tex Holdings plc, with five manufacturing entities grouped under TEX GROUP following the 2015 acquisition of G&M Power Plant's trade and assets and the 2021 merger with Eurotex International Ltd. G&M EUROTEX serves three primary verticals: Industrial (containerised generators for NHS hospitals, data centres, airports, Ministry of Justice facilities, and National Grid substations, with NGET alone operating 250+ backup sites supported by the company), Marine (class-certified gensets for superyachts, polar research vessels, workboats, and tugboats), and Defence (emergency AC power generators for naval vessels including all six Royal Navy T45 Destroyers, a US Navy Expeditionary Transfer Dock unit, Royal Australian Navy Cape-class patrol vessels, Indian Navy installations for 25+ years, Chilean Navy Type 23 engine refurbishment, and Royal Saudi Air Force marine diesel engine support).

The company's technical offering is built on in-house engineering capabilities including SolidWorks 3D CAD concurrent engineering, Finite Element Analysis for structural validation, Design for Excellence (DfX) methodology spanning installation through long-term field maintainability, Lloyd's-accredited marine diesel refurbishment (over 673 measurements and 55 inspection levels per engine rebuild), dynamometer testing, and ROMER arm coordinate measuring to six-decimal-place precision for reverse engineering of obsolete components. Units are configured to stringent specifications including Defence Standard (Shock, Vibration, EMC) compliance for naval platforms, IMO Tier III emissions for superyachts, NHS HTM healthcare standards, and full IACS classification society certifications (ABS, BV, DNV, Lloyd's, RINA). Custom applications include operation at ambient temperatures as low as -35°C for polar research vessels such as RRS Sir David Attenborough and HVO fuel compatibility for up to 90% net CO2 reduction.

Revenue is generated primarily through three streams: bespoke generator hardware sales (one-off, multi-year-contract projects priced individually to specification), Lloyd's-accredited marine diesel engine service engineering (contracted and ad hoc support, spares, and emergency 24/7 breakdown), and through-life service agreements available in 1-year or 15-year terms covering operation, maintenance, and parts. Go-to-market is exclusively direct B2B via the Technical Sales team, supplemented by face-to-face engagement at Seawork, AMPS conferences, PowerEx Live, and maritime festivals; the company holds exclusive channel representation via Pratex Power Vision in India and serves customers across the UK, Europe, North America, South Asia, Oceania, South America, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Core offering

G&M EUROTEX designs, manufactures, assembles, tests and finishes bespoke AC generating sets for industrial, marine and defence applications, with a separate Lloyd's-accredited Marine Diesel Engine Service division delivering engine refurbishment, spares and through-life support. Each generator is individually engineered rather than modified from a standard product, serving customers such as NHS hospitals, data centres, airports, National Grid utility substations, superyacht builders, research vessels and international navies.

Product overview

G&M EUROTEX designs, manufactures, assembles, tests, and finishes bespoke generating sets. Its product portfolio is organised into three core divisions: Industrial Generators (containerised AC generators for hospitals, data centres, airports, utility providers, and prisons), Marine Generators (custom gensets for superyachts, research vessels, and workboats), and Defence/Naval Vessel Generators (emergency AC power generators for navy ships including T45 Destroyers). The company also operates a Lloyd's-accredited Marine Diesel Engine Service Division (formerly Eurotex International) delivering engine refurbishment, service engineering, and through-life spares support. Bespoke Industrial Power Packs and Genset Support services complete the offering, providing customers with end-to-end custom power solutions from design through commissioning and long-term maintenance.

Broad incumbents

• MAN Energy Solutions: Supplies large-bore marine diesel engines, power generation packages and naval propulsion systems globally. Overlaps with G&M in the diesel-driven genset space across merchant marine, naval auxiliary and industrial applications.
• Volvo Penta: Manufactures marine diesel engines and onboard generator systems for leisure yachts, commercial marine and special-purpose vessels. Comparable to G&M in workboat and superyacht generator applications, though serving more standard configurations.
• Rolls-Royce Power Systems (MTU): Supplies MTU marine gensets and integrated propulsion for naval vessels (including Type 26, F-126 frigates) and yach as well as mission-critical backup power. Closely comparable on the naval/defence side and on the customized high-specification industrial side where G&M competes.
• Caterpillar Marine Power: Major OEM of marine and industrial diesel generator sets serving navies, superyachts, hospitals and data centers globally. Overlaps with G&M in defence and marine gensets, but at much higher volume and with standard rather than fully bespoke configurations.
• Cummins: Global diesel engine and generator manufacturer with marine, defense, data center and industrial product lines including the QSK60 and QSK78 used in mission-critical backup power. Direct comparable in product scope (Cummins engines were used on the Bilgin 263 superyacht generator set supplied by G&M, illustrating the overlap).
• Wärtsilä Marine Power: Large marine engine and ship power systems supplier including generator sets for naval and commercial vessels, with growing hybrid and fuel-flexible offerings. Competes with G&M for marine genset contracts on larger commercial and naval platforms.

Direct peers

• Masson Marine: French specialist manufacturer of bespoke marine generator sets and frequency converters for naval, superyacht and offshore applications. Highly comparable to G&M in niche custom marine/defence gensets, including design, assembly and after-sales support.
• Hitzinger: Austrian manufacturer of custom rotating electric machines including tailored generators, motors and frequency converters for marine, industrial and power generation applications. Direct peer in low-volume, high-specification custom genset builds where engineering rather than scale drives the sale.
• Nasta Marintek: Norwegian specialist in customized marine generator sets and AC power systems for offshore, naval and commercial vessels. Closely comparable niche to G&M in bespoke design, Lloyd's class-certified manufacturing and long-term service support.
• Alconza-BEVI Marine: Spanish manufacturer of marine generators, switchboards and electric power solutions for naval and commercial vessels, with installed base across European navies. Comparable to G&M in marine genset design, manufacture and lifecycle service for vessels.
