The History of CPS Generators

From a garage in the UK to powering global industries, Constant Power Solutions has come a long way. Built on British values and driven by innovation, our journey is one of resilience and a passion for power. For over a decade, we have continued to grow and excel whilst providing some of the finest Bespoke Diesel generators worldwide. We’ve committed ourselves to quality and innovation at every stage of a Diesel generator’s lifespan. Not only to an ISO9001 accreditation , but also a storied and impressive history in such a short period of time.

Here’s how it all began

2013 – The Beginning of CPS

Every success story starts somewhere, and for CPS, that ‘somewhere’ was a garage. In 2013, Director Victor Wu founded Constant Power Solutions with a clear vision: to become the UK’s leading diesel generator manufacturer. Using his industry experience, Victor got to work building the very first CPS diesel generators by hand.

It didn’t take long for the results to speak for themselves. By the end of the year, CPS produced 50 Alpha Series generators of their own design with powerful AP model Perkins engines. They had found homes in both the UK and international markets in 10 different countries. The ambition was big, but so was the momentum, and the CPS story was officially underway.

2017 – Early success

Fast forward four years, and CPS was making serious waves in the power generation industry. 2017 marked a breakthrough year, as we established ourselves as a recognised manufacturer. Large-scale orders came in from across the world, and our product range expanded significantly.

We introduced some of the most respected engine brands into our range, including Scania, Volvo, and Deutz. Reinforcing our commitment to flexibility, reliability, and performance.

With hundreds of machines produced, our first factory opened and new departments added to support logistics, warranties, and international operations. CPS was no longer just growing, we were thriving.

2021 – Scaling Up

As the demand for our bespoke diesel generators continued to climb, we knew it was time to grow again.

In 2021, CPS expanded its production facility by an additional 15,000 square feet by acquiring the building next door, building on our earlier move in 2018 to a unit twice the size of our original factory. This upgrade increased our generator production capacity by 30%, allowing us to deliver more projects, faster, without compromising on the quality we’re known for.

This investment in space wasn’t just about capacity. It was a reflection of our ongoing commitment to meeting the complex needs of our customers with greater precision, efficiency, and care.

Present – Specialists in Bespoke Power Projects

Today, CPS is far more than a generator manufacturer, we are a trusted partner for bespoke and containerised diesel power solutions.

We work across critical sectors including the NHS, Ministry of Defence (MOD), and HMP, designing and delivering tailored systems that meet demanding technical and regulatory standards. Every project is backed by full support, from concept to commissioning.

As a technically-led design company, our focus remains the same: delivering quality engineering and outstanding service, every step of the way.

If the history of Constant Power Solutions proves anything, it’s that we never stand still. From a small garage to serving global industries, our journey reflects a deep commitment to UK manufacturing, continuous improvement, and customer-first solutions.
