UGE International Ltd. announced the following staffing changes based on growing volumes of business in the US and the Philippines. Joining as the Managing Director of UGE Philippines is Enrique "Kits" Chuidian, Jr. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Business Development at Aboitiz Construction Inc. Prior to this, he was the Country Manager for Stoller Philippines Inc., and the VP & General Manager for Puyat Steel Corp. UGE Philippines Co-Founder, Tyler Adkins, has taken on the US-based role of Director of New Markets, where he will lead new business development initiatives and expand UGE's Green Bond offering, an investment product open to retail investors. Of particular interest is the commercial, industrial and community solar market in Maine, which recently passed a pro renewable energy policy.
UGE has also taken the bold step to further build on its competitive cost advantage by moving its drafting headquarters from Toronto to the Philippines. The drafting team supports UGE's engineering team, which remains based out of Toronto. Two seasoned solar engineers have joined the Philippines office; one to lead drafting, which supports UGE's global business, and the other to lead project engineering for the Philippines market. The Toronto-based engineering team has also added a project engineering manager, Valentine Aigbogun, formerly of Panasonic Eco Solutions.
UGE International Ltd. develops, owns, and operates community and commercial solar generation and storage projects. The Company operates through three segments: EPC, Engineering services, and Energy generation. The EPC segment is engaged in building solar energy projects for third parties. It provides engineering and consulting services through the Engineering services segment. The Energy generation segment is engaged in the sale of electricity generated, and the sale of renewable energy credits. The Company's distributed energy solutions deliver cleaner energy to businesses and consumers. The Company has installed approximately 750 projects. The Company's solar projects include the Bertoline, Zerega Avenue, Abingdon, Staten Island Community, Sharp New Jersey Headquarters, Brinks Warehouse, Smithville, Bertoline, and Norway, among others.
