Our work is guided by our purpose: creating an energy-resilient world for a better future.
Rehlko is a global leader in power and energy resilience. Formerly known as Kohler Energy, Rehlko has continually shaped the way the world powers homes, industries, and critical infrastructure.
As part of this exciting growth, WB Power Services has now become Rehlko.

It’s a transformation that strengthens our technical capability, expands our product range, and deepens the value we offer to our clients.
We retain the strong, values-led foundation of a family business, while being empowered by the scale, resources, and global vision of Rehlko. For our people, this means new opportunities, bigger projects, and a chance to shape the future of resilient, sustainable energy.
