Prolectric鈥檚 new US office is based at parent company鈥檚 Hill & Smith鈥檚 existing premises in Texas and headed by Ben Odell, business development lead, Prolectric USA.
The new operation will focus primarily on the distribution of Prolectric鈥檚 solar-powered 鈥榮mart鈥� tower lights and hybrid generators.
The attempted international expansion comes three years after Prolectric was acquired by diversified industrial group Hill & Smith and a year after Rachel Preen took over as managing director from Chris Williams.
Rachel Preen said: 鈥淭he US market for solar is extremely buoyant. With expected growth in new solar capacity, Texas has tremendous potential for us.
鈥淭his market opportunity provides a natural progression for us to scale the business, building on our rapid UK growth ambition, Prolectric鈥檚 robust solar credentials, award-winning product standards for British engineering and CSR.鈥�
