categoryCorporate

Grupel SA is a company with more than 40 years of experience in the market, which is dedicated to the production of a wide range of generators, equipped with the best quality components and with power from 6kVA to 3500kVA for energy production.

In the data below it’s visible the growth obtained by the company in 2016, mainly in the European and American markets.

If we analyze billing, we see that in 2016 Grupel obtained its highest percentage of sales in the European market, mainly due to the strategy of attracting new distributors in Europe. If we look to the total turnover, we conclude that more than 80% of Grupel’s invocing is related to international markets, a direct consequence of the strong internationalization strategy adopted by the company, that expects to consolidate its presence in emerging markets such as Africa, Middle East and Asia.

An indicator of the company’s growth success is related to total installed power. In this field, the highlight goes to the almost 400MW of power installed in Portugal. Also noteworthy are the nearly 120MW installed in Africa, followed by approximately 70MW in Central and South America.
