"Modular power to give back with endless energy"

Most power system providers limit support to their own brands. We founded X‑Group with the core objective to change this practice in the industry. In 2020, we assembled a team of seasoned experts, proficient in a diverse array of power equipment. From that point onward we’ve made it our mission to deliver the X‑FACTOR experience with cross‑platform energy solutions that reduce cost and carbon footprint.

We believe companies should never put product sales ahead of their customers’ success. Guided by this principle, our vendor‑neutral approach considers all possibilities of OEM hardware, optimizing for our clients’ needs, budget and future.

We listen and help you solve for X.

We help our clients benefit from new technologies for intelligent ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance growth, with lifecycle support that moves them from feeling cornered to confident. We walk through every project phase, from concept to completion for all rotating equipment, guiding with the capability and synergy of our robust group of companies.

We are the world's leading provider of cross‑platform solutions for evolving power systems.

The future of power is bright.
