Carmanah and ADB Expand Partnership Globally

Monday, May 10, 2010 by ADB

Carmanah Technologies Corporation and ADB Airfield Solutions have announced that they are expanding their partnership agreement to include Europe, South America, the Middle East/Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Today's agreement links Carmanah and ADB worldwide, enabling both companies to proceed with a global partnership focused on complementing ADB's line of airfield lighting products with a range of solar-powered LED airfield lights manufactured by Carmanah.

In November 2009, Carmanah and ADB Airfield Solutions (Ohio) announced a partnership to provide a line of solar LED airfield lighting in North America and the Caribbean. With sales and marketing activities well underway in this region, ADB and Carmanah will now work together to deliver an ADB-branded line of solar LED airfield lights to ADB's worldwide customer base.

As a stand-alone lighting option, Carmanah solar-powered airfield lights can be quickly and easily deployed to challenging locations where the electrical infrastructure is incomplete or non-existent. The combination of ADB LED products and Carmanah solar-power management technology will also enable the deployment of fully compliant lighting systems using solar as either the primary or back-up power source.

Christian Onselaere, president and CEO of the ADB group, said, "As a total airfield lighting solutions provider, we are delighted to add Carmanah's solar LED airfield lights to our range of airfield lighting options."

In Brussels last week to formalise the agreement, Carmanah CEO Ted Lattimore commented, "ADB is the industry leader in airfield lighting technology and innovation, so we are incredibly proud that ADB has chosen Carmanah as its partner for solar-powered airfield lights. Carmanah's solar LED airfield lights are in use on commercial and defence airfields worldwide, and we look forward to expanding our market reach even further through our new partnership with ADB."
