Kohler Energy range of marine generator sets, distributed in Italy by SAIM Marine, is officially rebranding under its new corporate name Rehlko.
“The rebranding marks a major milestone in the company’s 100 -plus-year history delivering innovative, resilient energy solutions and celebrates Kohler legacy and commitment for tackling the most complex energy challenges, and the values that guided everything Kohler Energy does and and stands for - said Brian Melka, Rehlko chief executive officer. “The company’s new name is derived from the six letters of Kohler and reflects the reliability, resolve, reinvention, and resilience that have been – and will remain – the hallmarks of this organization in addressing the ever-evolving distributed energy needs of the marketplace”.
Rehlko will continue to operate as an autonomous and independent entity, now having power generation as its core business. “For our customers,” commented Marco Donà, CEO of SAIM,” the long tradition of the brand and the investments in the development of new marine generators and in the integration of technologies for a sustainable transition in this sector open up a new era of innovative solutions for a better future.”
Kohler Energy became a stand-alone entity in May 2024 when Platinum Equity, a global investment firm, completed a transaction with Kohler Company to establish then-Kohler Energy as a stand-alone business. Platinum Equity is the majority owner of Rehlko with Kohler Company remaining an investment partner.
