History

In 1966, the Biscayan businessman José María Gutiérrez Ascunce founded Guascor with the aim of providing to the industry and marine sectors with reliable and efficient engines.

Since then, Guascor Energy has become a global manufacturer of gas and diesel engines designed for power generation, cogeneration, waste conversion and marine use leveraging its own proprietary technology developed in its corporate R&D facilities in Vitoria.

During the 2010 decade, Guascor Energy has been part of two global groups, Dresser-Rand Group and Siemens. Since 2022 the company is owned by Mutares and continues innovating in the sector as an independent company again.

Guascor Energy supports industrial, marine and EPC customers around the world in their power, energy, heat & decarbonisation needs.

Innovation

Guascor Energy, in the constant search for the latest technologies applicable to reciprocating engines, created a state-of-the-art R&D center in 1996. The center is devoted to a constant innovation and improvement of our products and related applications.

Located in Alava, the R&D center is unique in Spain and considered as one of the most advanced in the world.

Our R&D facility covers all the steps across the engine development life, including among others, conceptual design, modelling and simulation, detail design and engine operation adjustments.

Our center includes a full-fledged training center, several test benches as well as fuel and instrumentation & control facilities.
