We are pleased to welcome Avesco AG as a new member. With Avesco, the association gains an experienced partner in an area that matters to every data center: a secure power supply when the grid goes down.

Avesco AG is a long-established Swiss family business headquartered in Langenthal, with a history spanning more than 150 years. Now in its sixth generation, the company employs around 1,100 people at 50 locations in 11 countries. It operates in the fields of energy and drive systems, construction machinery and construction technology, where they are always the leader in the swiss market.

For the data center industry, the most relevant division is Avesco Energy Systems. Its team of around 80 employees plans, supplies, installs, and maintains customized, decentralized energy solutions: emergency power systems, mobile generator sets, uninterruptible power supplies (Diesel-Rotary-UPS), and combined heat and power (CHP) plants.

On the technology side, Avesco relies primarily on Gensets from the world leader Caterpillar.  Avesco is official CAT Dealer for Switzerland since over 95 years. Customers are supported by a single provider throughout the entire process, from initial consultation through implementation and commissioning to long-term service.

Data centers are part of Switzerland’s critical infrastructure. Their availability depends directly on how well they are protected against power outages and grid disruptions. Avesco brings hands-on experience from exactly this environment to the association. Its systems run not only in data centers but also in hospitals and industrial facilities, where failure is not an option.

Avesco thereby strengthens SDCA’s expertise on issues of growing importance to the industry: security of supply in a potential power shortage, the role of emergency power systems as a reserve for the grid, and the path toward more efficient, lower-emission emergency power solutions.

We warmly welcome Avesco AG and look forward to working together.
