Solar AdTek to expand in Middle East

- Ellie Donnelly

SOLAR AdTek, which develops solar-powered and LED lighting systems for outdoor advertisin­g, has signed a deal with Dubai-based Poweregion to bring its solar lighting systems to a bigger market.

Poweregion’s customers are based in the Middle East and Africa region, and the group has over 1,000 clients.

Under the agreement with Solar AdTek, Poweregion will be now in a position to offer an extended range of services to its customers.

Solar AdTek CEO Eoin O’Broin said that the company was “delighted” to be extending its internatio­nal footprint to the Middle East and Africa.

“In Poweregion, we have found the optimum channel partner, whose business is clearly strategica­lly aligned with ours,” Mr O’Broin added. “The agreement will enable us to bring our solar and energy-saving LED lighting technologi­es to a wide market and we are confident that it will be of significan­t mutual benefit to both of our companies.”

Projects completed in Ireland in 2018 by Solar AdTek include the upgrading of the lighting in advertisin­g displays across CIE’s Out of Home advertisin­g estate on the national rail network.

It has also worked on the upgrade of 1,800 bus shelter units across Ireland with JCDecaux, decreasing its carbon emissions.

The company operates in 12 countries globally.
