Nativemax generators in Sri Lanka. Our brand. Same engines. Better value.
Nativemax is NativeWay's own diesel generator range — packaged in Sri Lanka, engineered for tropical conditions, and built around the same internationally-trusted components used by Teksan, MTU and Caterpillar: Cummins, Perkins, Baudouin and Mitsubishi engines paired with Stamford or Leroy Somer alternators. The difference: 84 years of NativeWay engineering oversight, local warranty, and 24/7 service from the same team that builds the unit.
What is Nativemax?
Nativemax is the in-house diesel generator brand of NativeWay (Pvt) Ltd — Sri Lanka's MEP partner since 1942. It exists because not every project needs the brand premium of a Teksan or an MTU. Nativemax delivers the same internationally-trusted engine and alternator combinations, packaged with Sri Lankan tropical conditions in mind, with full local warranty and service.
Each Nativemax genset is built around four globally-proven engine options — Cummins, Perkins, Baudouin and Mitsubishi — paired with Stamford or Leroy Somer alternators (the two alternator brands that dominate global mission-critical power). The packaging, canopy, control panel, ATS integration and Sri Lanka-specific testing is done by NativeWay engineers. Result: a genset that performs identically to imported brands in the same kVA class, at materially better value.
Nativemax exists for one reason: most Sri Lankan buyers care more about the engine inside the canopy than the badge on the outside. We give you Cummins or Perkins or Mitsubishi or Baudouin — the same OEM engines installed in Teksan and Caterpillar gensets — without the badge premium.
Available Nativemax sizes
Stock + made-to-order across 10 kVA to 1 MW. Our 20-200 kVA range is what we build most of — these sizes serve hotels, restaurants, factories, clinics and offices. Custom builds available above 200 kVA.
What's inside a Nativemax genset
Every Nativemax generator is built around four engine options and two alternator options — the same components that power the world's leading branded gensets. You choose the combination based on your application; we build it.
Engine options
Cummins
American-built. Most widely-serviced engine in Sri Lanka. Recommended default for 50-500 kVA. Best parts-availability across all 25 districts.
Perkins
UK-engineered, Caterpillar-owned. Simpler design, lowest fuel consumption per kWh in the 20-150 kVA range. Popular for hotels and clinics.
Baudouin
French marine-grade engineering. Excels in coastal high-humidity locations — ideal for resort hotels, ports and logistics yards along the Sri Lankan coast.
Mitsubishi
Japanese precision. Top choice for 1 MW – 3 MW critical-power applications. Lowest noise signature and best transient response in the heavy-duty class.
Alternator options
Stamford (Cummins-owned)
UK manufacturer. Industry benchmark for voltage regulation and harmonic distortion. Best choice for IT and data-centre loads. Extensive Sri Lankan rebuild ecosystem.
Leroy Somer (Nidec)
French-engineered. Excels in high-temperature tropical environments. Preferred pairing with Mitsubishi and Baudouin engines. Particularly suited to outdoor canopy installations.
Nativemax vs imported brands — when to choose what
Nativemax isn't always the right choice. Here's how to decide.
Choose Nativemax when
- Project budget is the primary constraint
- Specs (engine + alternator) matter more than the badge
- Local warranty and rapid service are priorities
- You're comfortable with NativeWay engineering oversight
- 10 kVA – 1 MW range fits your load
- Stock availability (no 8-week wait for an imported unit) is important
Choose Teksan or MTU instead when
- Tender requires a specific recognised international brand
- You need above 1 MW (Mitsubishi-powered MTU works to 3 MW)
- Insurance, financing or corporate procurement requires brand-name OEM
- Multi-site standardisation across an existing fleet
- Resale value at year 7+ is a primary consideration
- Project is in Maldives or Bangladesh where Teksan brand recognition matters
Nativemax FAQ
Common questions our power engineers field about the Nativemax range.
What is Nativemax?
Nativemax is NativeWay's own house-brand diesel generator range, designed and assembled to NativeWay's specifications for the Sri Lankan market. Each Nativemax genset uses globally-trusted components — Cummins, Perkins, Baudouin or Mitsubishi engines paired with Stamford or Leroy Somer alternators — packaged with Sri Lankan tropical conditions in mind.
How is Nativemax different from imported brands like Teksan or MTU?
Imported brands carry brand-name premium and shipping cost. Nativemax delivers the same internationally-trusted components (same engines, same alternators) at materially lower price because we package and warranty locally. For projects where engineering specs matter more than the badge on the canopy, Nativemax wins on value.
What capacity range does Nativemax cover?
10 kVA to 1 MW. Most stock units are in the 20-200 kVA band — the workhorse range for hotels, factories, offices, and standby applications. Above 200 kVA we typically build to order in 6-10 weeks.
What warranty does Nativemax carry?
12 months full warranty on the complete genset, plus the OEM engine warranty per Cummins / Perkins / Baudouin / Mitsubishi factory schedule (typically 24 months / 2,000 hours). Warranty claims are handled directly by NativeWay engineers — no shipping abroad, no third-party adjudication.
Does Nativemax come with AMC service?
Yes — every Nativemax sale includes the option of an annual maintenance contract. AMC covers scheduled servicing, oil and filter changes, load testing, battery checks, and 24/7 emergency callouts. Typical Nativemax 100 kVA AMC runs LKR 150,000-220,000 per year.
Where is Nativemax service available?
All districts of Sri Lanka. Two service centres (Sapugaskanda, Matara) plus a branch at Anuradhapura, with mobile teams covering Western, Southern, Central, North-Central and Northern provinces. Maldives and Bangladesh service is delivered through the NativeWay subsidiary networks in those countries.
