Our History

How We’ve Grown
In 1964, we got our start building custom marine engines and generators for commercial fishing fleets and processors in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. We were among the first companies in the United States to develop marine packages that utilized the robust and versatile Isuzu Diesel Engine.

MER quickly established itself as the premier provider of Isuzu marine diesel engines and generators for the Western United States and Alaska. The combination of the quality-made Isuzu engine and proven reliability of the Marathon and Newage generator kept our fishermen busy doing what they do best: fishing and not repairing equipment. Through the years, MER has developed generator and propulsion packages to suit the needs of fishermen, construction sites, and residential users all over the United States.

Within the last few years, we have expanded our generator and propulsion line-up to include Heavy Duty John Deere Marine and Industrial Engines as well as the very popular Yanmar Marine and Industrial Engines. The addition of these two very well-made engines allows us to offer generator packages that range from 4KW to over 300 KW and propulsion ranges from 20 horse power to over 900 horsepower.
