What Ches Power Group does

Ches Power Group (CPG) is a privately-held Western Australian authorized distributor and service provider for premium industrial and marine power equipment brands, founded in 2013 and headquartered at a purpose-built workshop and parts showroom in Bibra Lake. The company holds distributing dealer status for Volvo Penta (Industrial and Marine, including the IPS propulsion platform), MTU (Off-Highway), Rehlko (formerly Kohler, Industrial and Marine generators from 8 kW to 4 MW), TecnoGen (Battery Energy Storage Systems and FUSTEQ generating sets), Humphree (trim and stabilization), Separ Filter (fuel-water separators), Mobil/ExxonMobil lubricants, Walker AIRSEP (closed crankcase breathing systems), and Crestchic (resistive-reactive load banks). Its offering centers on diesel and gas engines and generators, propulsion systems, energy storage, fuel filtration, stabilization, and load bank testing equipment, with revenue generated through equipment sales, parts and consumables supply, professional services (engine overhauls, commissioning, installations, repower projects), and managed service contracts covering the lifecycle of customer power assets.

CPG serves enterprise customers across four primary verticals — mining, marine, oil & gas, and agriculture — with the majority of documented demand concentrated in Western Australia and select cross-border deliveries into Papua New Guinea (K92 Mining). Named enterprise customers include BHP, K92 Mining, Rottnest Express, Bhagwan Marine, Pinnacle Travel Group, Fremantle Sea Rescue (government), True North, Western Air, and Jetwave Quayside. Multiple customer relationships span more than 20 years, evidencing a high-trust, account-anchored commercial model. Distribution is executed through direct sales from the Bibra Lake facility, field service teams across WA, an expanding certified Volvo Penta dealer network across the Perth metro area, and online parts ordering via the Volvo Penta Shop portal. Pricing is quote-based across equipment and service lines and is not publicly disclosed.

The company's growth posture in 2024-2026 reflects measured expansion into the energy transition (TecnoGen BESS distribution, July 2024), flagship technical demonstration projects (Volvo Penta IPS integration into the R100 sea rescue vessel for Fremantle Sea Rescue, 2026), and execution of large mining power projects. Recent industry recognition includes 2024 Australian Marine Industry Apprentice of the Year finalist status and 2026 Australian Marine Industry Innovation of the Year finalist recognition for the R100 IPS project.
