Marathon
Marathon Engine Systems (MES) was started in 1998 with the purchase of the Marathon engine from Briggs & Stratton Corp. The engine was originally designed as a long life power source for the Triathlon Heat Pump that was marketed by York International. This product was phased out in the late 1990s, but the engine found new life in other applications that could utilize its unique long-life features. The original company focus started as parts supplier to the Marathon engines in the field, but has evolved to become a manufacturer of power generation products.
MES currently occupies a 70,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Southeastern Wisconsin. We have the resources to draw on the local manufacturing base in the Midwest for raw materials (castings, forgings, sheeting, tubes) as well as all varieties of machining and assembly. We are an applications-based company that designs systems for the distributed power industry — both prime and remote power. We sell our products globally, and more than 3,000 of our engines were installed in a partnership in Germany — with PowerPlus Technologies that markets our micro-CHP (combined heat and power) product throughout Europe. Our ecopower product won the 2011 EPA ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award.
The outlook for micro-CHP technology, distributed generation (DG as it's known in the industry), and remote power is ever increasing. This expansion is fueled by the fact that, as centralized power plants and power lines become more difficult to build, small power units at the local, or the commercial and residential levels, are becoming more common. A significant part of the future for electric energy generation lies in distributed generation and energy efficiency. Because of our engineering and manufacturing expertise, we have the ability to react quickly to unique applications that develop in this rapidly growing and dynamic environment and will build on that ability.

Training Course: Specifying Propane Standby Generators
Upon completion of this unit you will be able to describe the most common reasons for power outages in the United States. You also will be able to list the three main kinds of electrical generators available in the residential market and be able to identify the most reliable and appropriate energy source to fuel an electrical generator. Go to course.
Training Course: Living Off-Grid: Power Generation and Storage Basics
Living off the grid — independent of power utilities — has become increasingly popular over the past decade. Getting rid of power poles and natural gas lines has become an attractive option for many homeowners whether they have a second home designed to be a summer or winter retreat, want a permanent outpost far from the madding crowds, or simply want to become energy independent. Go to course.
Generac
Founded in 1959, Generac has earned a reputation as the company homeowners and business owners turn to when the power goes out. The first to engineer affordable home standby generators, along with the first engine developed specifically for the rigors of generator use, we now sell more home standby generators than all of our competitors combined. We revolutionized the commercial market with the first cost-effective product line meeting the needs of small and mid-sized businesses.
Generac manufactures the widest range of power products in the marketplace, including portable, RV, residential, commercial, and industrial generators. At Generac, we protect the things that power your life by providing quality, affordable power solutions.
We believe Generac?s continued success will come from our dedication to growth and our core philosophy of ensuring our customers' peace of mind by delivering a superior product and ownership experience.
