What Marapco does

Marapco Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer and seller of diesel generator sets, headquartered in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, and operating as a supporting branch of the Lebanese Jubaili Group since its founding in 2007. The company assembles gensets in Northern Ireland using premium sourced components: Perkins diesel engines (for which the Jubaili Group holds SSOEM status), Leroy Somer alternators, Deep Sea Electronics control systems, and ABB circuit breakers. Its product range spans portable units to containerised 800kVA+ systems for standby and prime power applications, complemented by sound attenuation enclosures, remote monitoring systems, ATS panels, synchronising panels, Marapco-branded Perkins spare parts, light towers (MPLT8), and a newer line of solar PV and hybrid power solutions.

The business operates a project-based, dealer-led go-to-market model with global reach across 60+ countries. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (generators, spare parts, solar), professional services (customisation, installation, commissioning, training, maintenance), and managed services (warranty, with optional Perkins Platinum Protection up to 10 years). Customers span healthcare (Belfast Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast Mater, Belle Vue Bangladesh, Chittagong Hospital), aviation (MMA Lagos, 7,000kVA), banking (First National Bank HQ Lebanon), telecom (GP Data Centre Bangladesh), oil & gas (BP Rumaila Iraq), government (UK Government NI, NIE Networks), transportation (Translink NI), and real estate (Esla Bangladesh). Distribution is via a global dealer network anchored by regional partners such as Technohaven (Bangladesh) and AC Automation (Northern Ireland), supported by direct enterprise sales and trade show presence at events such as Middle East Electricity. The company provides Perkins-certified training, technical knowledge-base content, and customer service agreements, positioning itself as a full-solution provider across the generator lifecycle.
