Ecostream to Open its First Office in the USA
Ecostream announced that it is entering the US market by opening an office in Sacramento, California. Ecostream had a turnover of over $100 million in 2006, and has offices in Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and China.
Steven Pleging, CEO of Ecostream International, stated: “The US represents a potentially important market for clean energy investment – a market in which California is currently playing a leadership role. By expanding our business operations to the West Coast of the US we can take full advantage of two decades of renewable energy experience in Europe. There are now better prospects for greater federal commitment to clean energy solutions in the US. In the short term we offer turnkey projects for solar roof installations and in the middle to long term we will aim to meet growing market demand for other renewable energy solutions.”
Faried Muscati has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Ecostream in the US. He has considerable experience in the solar business. He worked for many years as Director Foreign Sales Operations at Solarworld, a large German producer of solar modules. Muscati stated, “This will create up to 15 engineering, financing and management jobs in 2007.”
