A track record you can trust

In 1987, John Campion – a former roadie – started Show Power to provide modular, temporary power to legendary performers like the Rolling Stones. General Electric Co. later acquired Show Power, and John was brought on to help develop GE’s fast-power business, including the technical development of the mobile gas turbine (the GE TM 2500). In 2004, he founded APR Energy to deliver temporary and emergency power around the world.
