In manufacturing, power loss isn’t just inconvenient it halts production, damages equipment, and delays delivery. UK and EU manufacturers are estimated to lose over £80 billion a year to unplanned downtime, and every minute offline compounds the cost in wasted materials, missed deadlines, and idle labour.
That’s why Shenton Group designs, installs and maintains standby and prime power generators from 20kVA to 2000+ kVA, alongside Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems that deliver both uptime assurance and measurable energy savings.
Whether you’re producing food, pharmaceuticals, automotive components, or precision-engineered parts, our solutions keep production running, reduce heating and electricity costs, and support regulatory compliance. Trusted by manufacturers across the UK since [year, pull from About/History page], we deliver power continuity that keeps your business competitive, efficient, and ready to meet demand.
Without reliable power, manufacturing businesses face serious consequences:
We design and maintain power systems that keep your production line moving:
Food and pharmaceutical manufacturers face some of the strictest continuity requirements of any sector. A power failure doesn’t just stop the line it can compromise cold-chain integrity, void batch records, and put GMP compliance at risk.
Our standby and hire generator solutions are specified around your critical loads refrigeration, cleanroom environments, process control systems to keep temperature-sensitive production and storage running through an outage. Combined with remote monitoring and rapid-response maintenance, we help food and pharma manufacturers protect product integrity, meet regulatory obligations, and avoid the cost of a lost batch.
Sizing depends on your critical load, not just total site demand. As a guide:
Our engineers assess your load profile, essential vs. non-essential circuits, and future capacity needs before recommending a system — avoiding the common and costly mistake of under- or over-sizing.
