Additionally, Orbital plans to begin building and assembling its proprietary VE Technology, GasPTi units and IRIS kiosks in the United States.
In conjunction with the opening of the North American Facility, Orbital has hired Fred "Rusty" Darsey as North American Sales Director and James McGinty as North American Director of Engineering. Mr. Darsey is an almost 30-year veteran of the North American Energy Industry and brings a wealth of both experience and contacts to CUI Global and its new subsidiary.
For his part, Mr. McGinty is an experienced engineer having spent 30-years working in the energy industry with such stalwarts as ExxonMobil (analyzer projects) and Siemens Applied Automation. His expertise includes technical coordination, analytical design, drafting, and field installation of large analyzer systems. Like Mr. Darsey, Mr. McGinty brings a wealth of experience and contacts in the energy industry to CUI Global and its subsidiary.
CUI Global's President & CEO, William Clough, commented, "This new office will allow CUI Global to more readily address the North American Natural Gas Industry, which is quite sensitive to having local representation. Moreover, the addition of Jim and Rusty to our organizations adds two of the most respected sales and engineering executives in North America to our team, bringing along the requisite boost in reputation, credibility, and expertise – I welcome both of these talented individuals to the CUI Global/Orbital Team."
Mr. Darsey stated, "Both Jim and I are excited to be joining the CUI Global team. We definitively believe in the unique and dynamic nature of the GasPT2, VE Technology, and other Orbital products and we believe those products will make a significant impact in the North American Natural Gas Industry."
Mr. Darsey continued by explaining that, "locating the facility in Houston, America's 'energy capital,' will allow us to bring these revolutionary technologies immediately to the attention of some of the largest energy producers in North America and, by making and assembling the products in the US, sales into the US market will be that much easier to support."
"We are quite confident that having a presence in Houston with its proximity to the Eagle-Ford shale formation and as home to some of the largest natural gas producers and/or transporters in the world, along with the addition of Jim and Rusty, will do nothing but enhance our ability to introduce our ground breaking technology to new customers in North America, which will by its very nature increase revenues and, thereby, increase value for CUI Global and its Shareholders," Clough concluded.
