The beginnings in Balge
Volker Frerk founds an electrical engineering company in Balge and thus lays the foundation for over 60 years of experience in power generation. The first units with outputs of up to 0.64 MW were built — the beginning of a success story that is still characterized by technical expertise and reliability today.

Investments in the location -
Halls and test fields
Frerk's tailor-made power generation solutions are in high demand: Two additional production facilities are being built, each equipped with four modern test benches. Full-load testing prior to delivery is becoming a key quality control measure.

Expansion with a focus on quality
Keeping pace with demand: With the construction of the huge hall 3, our production facilities are expanding to 11,000 m². This marks an important milestone on our journey to becoming a professional full-service provider of emergency power systems, with an exceptional commitment to quality at every stage of the process. ISO 9001:2008 certification - Frerk relies on documented quality standards and systematic processes.

Construction projects — new dimensions
Expansion of the production area and construction of a new office building bring the total area to 25,000 m². Frerk is growing into new dimensions and is creating the infrastructure for complex major projects and international customers. State-of-the-art manufacturing technology and expanded capacities enable even larger gensets and emergency power systems.

Turnkey - Made in Germany

System availability with top priority -
Service Bickenbach location
Frerk's services continue after assembly & installation: A manufacturer-independent after sales service ensures maximum system availability. Another location is being built in Bickenbach in German Hesse for greater customer proximity and rapid response times.

Construction of a 7,860 m² production hall for containerized gensets and 9 state-of-the-art test facilities, with climate-neutral power supply — one of the biggest investments in the company's history.
In addition, a new service location is being built in Marklohe/Lemke about 10 km from HQ with 700 m² of storage space and 720 m² of office space.
