With more than 30 years of experience and clients in 180 countries, FG Wilson is recognised as one of the foremost names in generators today. The UAE operations started in 1991 as a subsidiary of FG Wilson (Engineering) Limited, UK, and it has featured in several high-profile projects in the various emirates.

FG Wilson (Engineering) FZE supplies gensets to the Middle East and to Asia in general. The parent company builds more than 80,000 gensets a year and is continually involved in creating innovative products to meet market trends.

FG Wilson has expanded its business dramatically over the last three to four years in the UAE and become an active partner in a significant number of major projects in the country including the Dubai Police Headquarters Building, the Falcon Breeding Hospital in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Towers in Dubai, Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai and various projects including ones in Yas Island and Sadiyat islands. Successful projects have also been completed in other emirates of the UAE as well as in Qatar, Yemen, Bahrain, Iraq and Kuwait.

The company is accredited to ISO 9001:2008, ISO14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007.

Gensets made in the UK
It manufactures its generators in Northern Ireland, UK, and has a complete portfolio of these products available at its Jebel Ali Free Zone facility.  From here, FG Wilson delivers to a broad and growing customer base throughout the UAE and the Middle East.  It also takes care of commissioning, testing and installation as well as providing comprehensive after-market support.  It maintains a healthy stock of diesel generator sets, from 9.5 kVA to 2,200 kVA, and these can be supplied within a very short time. The genset portfolio is backed up with a huge stock of spare parts, handy when gensets have to be serviced during emergency breakdowns and routine maintenance. FG Wilson has fully equipped mobile service vehicles.

The wide range of equipment available in the UAE includes:

• Diesel-fuelled gensets ranging from 9.5 kVA to over 2,500 kVA.

• Gas-fuelled gensets including both LPG- and natural gas-fuelled with specifications from 10 kVA to 1,250 kVA.

• Telecommunications and gen- eral power solutions including customised and turnkey installations.

• Enclosures: FG Wilson enclosures are designed and developed by the company’s specialist acoustic engineers to reduce sound levels. All of FG Wilson’s enclosures incorporate the following quality features: robust and highly corrosion-resistant construction, fully weatherproof, excellent access for maintenance and totally enclosed exhaust silencing system.

• Control Panels: A wide range is available -  from the LCP1 Series (incorporating a keystart control panel equipped with all of the latest protection devices to run the generating set) through to the 6000 Series panel, with the controller being able to auto synchronise up to eight generating sets with the mains (including automatic mains failure function).

“Unlike some companies that sell compressors, industrial machinery and generators among multiple other products, gensets are FG Wilson’s world.  They are all that the company sells and all that it services. Gensets are all that FG Wilson knows ... and they know them like no other company,” says a company spokesman with consummate pride.
