AVK-SEG was founded in 1989 and were initially the UK specialists for both the
AVK and SEG product ranges including protection relays for grid applications. We
quickly established a reputation as experts in Diesel Rotary UPS systems
(DRUPS), which became our core business for a number of years. We recognised
early the shift in the marketplace towards Static power protection systems, and
set up an exclusive partnership agreement with one of Europe’s largest
manufacturers to supply and maintain large numbers of their equipment in the UK,
which enabled us to build on our reputation but also increase our brand
recognition. More and more of the large-scale projects we were involved in
required Diesel Generator sets in addition to the UPS we offered, and as the
trust in our team and experience continued to grow, we were approached by a
number of clients to take on further responsibilities for their critical power
systems. To meet these demands for a ‘one stop shop’ we expanded our offering to
include other products that complete a power protection package – Generators,
UPS, Switchgear, Relays and Controls. A number of global manufacturers were keen
to work with us, and with their support, we were able to diversify our offering
and open up a range of business opportunities. Initial success delivering LV
projects for Telecoms quickly grew into massive successes delivering large scale
HV multi-module projects for Data Centres and various campus sites, enabling us
to become the UK’s leader in critical power solutions. Our clients rely on us to
deliver best-in-class solutions to complex power challenges – driving us to
constantly grow and develop both our product and service offerings to meet their
needs. To that end, with an increasing drive towards sustainability, recent
years have seen us partner with other industry leaders to grow our expertise in
sustainable power solutions such as gas generators and battery storage systems –
both of which help our clients to not only save money but increase their revenue
streams. Over thirty years down the line, AVK are one of the most trusted power
solutions providers across the UK and Europe, but we haven’t lost track of our
beginnings. Our unique ability to design, manufacture, install and service
standby power systems across a number of sectors sees us at the forefront of the
industry – a position we strive to maintain – with the same determination to
deliver for our clients and the same drive to succeed.
