Grupel SA

Grupel started its activity in 1976, producing and selling a wide range of power generators (open or soundproofed), from 3 to 3500kVA, equipped with components of the best quality. We have more than 24,000 m2 dedicated to the manufacture of generator sets, the largest production unit of this equipment in Portugal, which allows us to have great flexibility. Proof of this is that Grupel is perfectly qualified to produce standard generators, but also special projects of high complexity. Also, we have differentiating services, with a specialized team for situations that require technical assistance. We are a reference brand in the sector, and we work tirelessly for the satisfaction of our customers. In 2021, Grupel was recognized by Portuguese consumers with the Five Star Award (Prémio Cinco Estrelas), for the forth consecutive year. But the brand is not only recognized in Portugal. In 2020, 84 of the company’s turnover was due to its international presence, in more than 70 countries.

Our focus is well defined and is always towards our customer, aiming to always exceed expectations.

To fulfill these expectations, we challenge ourselves daily to reach even further, out of our comfort zone. Despite our 45 years of experience, we have a very young, dynamic and professional environment. We want that all our employees feel good working in Grupel and that somehow we make their lives, happier.

The future and success of the organization lies in its strategic investment in the foreign market, which is set since 2008. We intend to spread our brand throughout the world, operating around the globe, because our borders go far beyond Portugal and Portuguese speaking countries. We want to have an important position in this global village we live in, operating and satisfying our customer needs in various markets.

We hope to continue the process of high growth that we have achieved with the support and partnership with all 'stakeholders', customers, employees, suppliers, financial institutions, auditors and other institutions. In this way we will continue to walk towards success, sustainable growth and value creation with strong financial strength.
