Aggreko Argentina History
Aggreko was founded in 1962 in the Netherlands. Over the
last 45 years the company has gone from strength to strength.
Aggreko also provides energy for the major countries of the region:
Brazil, Chile, Venezuela and Argentina.
In 2008, Aggreko entered into the Argentinean Market and two
years later a new depot was inaugurated in the capital city, Buenos
Aires.
Today, we supply energy for several provinces
in Argentina: Chaco, Córdoba, Rio Negro and Buenos Aires.
