Smartcool forms install network

CANADA: Energy-saving compressor optimisation technology company Smartcool Systems is establishing an installation and servicing network in North America.

Having added six sales representatives in North America since the beginning of 2017, installation of Smartcool technology was seen as the next phase in the company’s progress.

Agreements have been entered into with Sandcastle Energy Systems Alliance and CCS Climate Control Systems Inc in Canada. In the US, an agreement is in place with Evolution Mechanical. The company also reports to being in negotiations with three other groups covering most of the southern US markets.

Smartcool Systems CEO Ted Konyi commented, “Numerous initial installations have been completed with the possibility that several large scale rollouts are anticipated. In order to accommodate this potential growth, it was clear that additional technical personnel were required. By adding these independent groups, Smartcool will be able to grow rapidly without the usual commitment of employee installers. Three of the groups were in attendance at a training session held in the UK last week.”

Steven Martin, head of UK operations for the company led the training and anticipates that these groups are now prepared to complete installations in North America with support from the UK team. The secondary benefit of this approach is the prospect of additional sales to existing clients of these established installation groups.
