GES undertakes a range of project-related work for a wide spread of process industries and utilities, and has an impressive client list that includes Repsol, Cepsa and Shell.

The company was founded in Spain in 1985 as part of the giant Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica. Gamesa generates electricity from renewable sources and supplies advanced products to the renewable energy sector. During Gamesa’s ownership, GES began to develop an international presence, with operations in Germany, Italy and Portugal where the development and implementation of wind energy is well established.

3i’s acquisition of GES in April 2006 is helping the business to accelerate its international expansion in a world-wide market that has been growing at almost 30% each year. The company’s experienced management team remained with GES through the change of ownership and is playing a key role in helping the business fulfil its global potential.
