Marlec was founded in 1978 in Rutland, the UK's smallest county, by our founder John Fawkes, who went on to receive a Wind Energy Pioneer Award from the British Wind Energy Association. As an engineer and successful businessman in early retirement, he was asked to investigate methods of keeping batteries charged on farms to run electric fencing units remote from the power grid. The solution was the Rutland Windcharger, a simple, reliable, silent and efficient wind-powered battery charging generator.

Marlec is based in Corby, UK. Worldwide, tens of thousands of satisfied users rely on Marlec products, in some of the world's most extreme climates, from Antarctica to the Sahara Desert. Wherever there's a need for low power, in whatever part of the world, Marlec has the solution.
