In 1932, the entrepreneurial businessman and engineer, Frank
Perkins, founded his company F Perkins Ltd. Operating
from a tiny workshop in
Peterborough,
UK, he employed just seven people and produced his
first diesel engine within a few months. Currently three manufacturing sites in
the
UK
and licensees around the world produce over 300,000 engines per year, supported
by a huge global distribution network.
Perkins Engines Company Limited (www.perkins.com)
, headquartered in
Peterborough,
UK, with North American

Ill., is a supplier of off-highway diesel and gas engines in the
