Aggreko opens service hub in Romania to serve regional market
British energy solutions group Aggreko has completed a new service and repair centre in Ștefăneștii de Jos, Ilfov, set to become operational in September 2026 and serve as a regional hub.
British energy solutions group Aggreko has completed construction of a new service and repair centre in Ștefăneștii de Jos, Ilfov, positioning Romania as a regional hub for its operations. The facility, which becomes operational in September 2026, will expand the company's local and regional service capabilities and allow certain repair and maintenance activities to be carried out in Romania rather than at other locations.
Aggreko is one of the world's leading suppliers of technical energy solutions and temperature control. The new centre is intended to serve not only the Romanian market but also neighbouring countries, reducing turnaround times for equipment servicing and strengthening the company's footprint in south-eastern Europe. The decision to base the hub in Romania, rather than in a competing location such as Dubai, reflects the country's strategic position and its growing role in the region's energy and industrial services sector.
The centre will handle service and repair work for Aggreko's rental fleet, which includes generators, temperature control units and other power equipment used across industries such as construction, manufacturing, events and utilities. By bringing these activities closer to customers in the region, the company aims to improve response times and operational reliability. The facility is also expected to create skilled technical jobs in the Ilfov area, though the company has not disclosed the number of positions.
Romania has increasingly attracted investment from international energy and industrial firms seeking to serve both the domestic market and the wider region. The country's location at the intersection of European Union markets and its developing infrastructure make it an attractive base for logistics and service operations. Aggreko's investment adds to a series of recent developments in Romania's energy and business services sector, where companies have expanded their presence through new facilities, acquisitions and financing deals.
The new centre is part of Aggreko's broader strategy to localise service capabilities in key markets. The company operates globally, providing temporary power, temperature control and energy storage solutions. Its decision to invest in Romania underscores the country's potential as a regional service hub and may encourage other international firms to consider similar moves. The facility will begin operations in September 2026, with the company expected to announce further details about its capacity and staffing closer to the launch date.
