Nativemax generators. Our brand. Premium engines. Better value.
Nativemax is NativeWay's own diesel generator range — packaged in Sri Lanka, engineered for tropical conditions, built around the same Cummins and Baudouin engines used by the world's premium genset brands. Backed by our 84-year engineering heritage, local warranty and 24/7 service.
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 a Force MTU. Nativemax delivers the same internationally-trusted Cummins and Baudouin engines, packaged with Sri Lankan tropical conditions in mind, with full local warranty and service.
Each Nativemax genset is built around two globally-proven engine options — Cummins (American-built, the most widely-serviced engine in Sri Lanka) and Baudouin (French marine-grade, excellent in coastal high-humidity environments). The packaging, canopy, control panel, ATS integration and Sri Lanka-specific testing are 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 what's inside the canopy than the badge on the outside. We give you Cummins or Baudouin — the same OEM engines installed in the world's leading branded 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 two engine options — the same components powering the world's leading branded gensets. You choose based on your application; we build it.
Cummins
American-built. Most widely-serviced engine in Sri Lanka. Recommended default for 50–500 kVA loads. Best parts-availability across all 25 districts. Ideal for 24/7 commercial standby and mission-critical applications.
Baudouin
French marine-grade engineering. Excels in coastal high-humidity locations — ideal for resort hotels, ports and logistics yards along the Sri Lankan coast. Strong performer in the 100 kVA – 1 MW range.
Paired with premium alternators selected for tropical conditions and harmonic-clean output. Every Nativemax unit is tested at full load before despatch.
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
- Engineering specs 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 Force MTU instead when
- Tender requires a specific recognised international brand
- You need above 1 MW (Force MTU works to 1,010 kVA; Teksan 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 is built around globally-trusted Cummins or Baudouin engines and premium alternators — packaged with Sri Lankan tropical conditions in mind.
How is Nativemax different from imported brands like Teksan or Force MTU?
Imported brands carry brand-name premium and shipping cost. Nativemax delivers the same internationally-trusted Cummins and Baudouin engines 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 or Baudouin 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.
