SolTech Energy signs a distribution contract with Rexel – one of the world’s largest electric energy wholesalers
The cooperation agreement is exclusive with respect to electrical wholesalers and the goal is to successively expand into Rexel’s other 18 solar-energy engaged countries. Rexel will be taking Soltech products into its own warehouses on a regular basis, in order to thereafter directly distribute them to its customers, as well as to its 63 Storel and Selga stores. Initially, the partnership will be focused on SolTech ShingEl, a completely building-integrated solar cell that functions as a roof tile, perfectly suited to laying seamlessly alongside Benders’ Carisma roof tile
Mikael Bill, product director Rexel Sverige AB, comments:
“The solar energy market continues to pick up speed, and the growth of many of our solar energy customers this year has been strong. We have experienced great demand for building-integrated, and thereby, esthetic solar energy. SolTech Energy’s product portfolio contains many exciting and innovative products that are absolutely right for the times, and hold – in our view – a high level of quality. We are therefore very pleased with this contract and see great business possibilities together in Sweden.”
Frederic Telander, CEO SolTech Energy, comments:
”We are very happy with this contract, which both solves our need of distribution and, with great probability, paves the way for a steadily higher volume of sales. SolTech’s strategy is to be a material supplier and, with this contract, we reach all of Sweden’s solar-energy installation companies, electricians, as well as building and real estate companies, seeking to buy directly from a wholesaler. The realization of a “second-stage” where we can easily expand our contract to 18 countries is an enormous possibility for SolTech Energy. We have the production capacity. This contract now secures our capacity to supply and growth within the sector – and at the same time – it is a lift for the launch of SolTech ShingEl.”
