published: 2014-10-21 14:54

With the new subsidiary, S:FLEX GmbH, manufacturers of mounting solutions for PV rooftop and ground-mounted systems, are placing their bet on a sustainable expansion in the UK. Two Managing Directors will be in charge of S:FLEX Mounting Systems UK Limited at the Liverpool location.

S:FLEX successfully positions itself in the small-scale systems segment with an installed capacity of over 20 MW since 2011. “We see the British market as one of our future core markets in Europe. Therefore, local presence through the establishment of our subsidiary is the logical step to be taken to ensure the extensive support of our existing and future customers,” says Bernhard Thiesbrummel, Managing Director of S:FLEX. “We are delighted to have gained Terry Hughes and Mark Wilke, who are both experienced PV industry specialists,” adds Thiesbrummel.

Rooftop systems segment on growth course in UK

The PV Strategy Roadmap of the British government provides for an increased orientation towards rooftop systems in the industrial sector. This segment is one of the core business areas of the company. With their MCS-certified mounting systems, S:FLEX offer their customers a high-quality solution for any roof type at an attractive price.

“Our customers appreciate the technical expertise and the extensive services provided by the team,” says Mark Wilke. S:FLEX were able to demonstrate just that in cooperation with their customer Renewables 4 Business, as part of a challenging 681 kW roof-mounted project, which was nominated for the Solar Power Portal Awards 2014 shortlist.

“We are confident in our ability to meet our customers’ demands with our ever-growing product and service portfolio, thus significantly improving our market position,” Wilke says. “In various housing association programs, S:FLEX still are the preferred partners, and our industrial systems pipeline is growing steadily. We are currently supplying a 1.3 MW project for the water suppliers United Utilities, which sees the use of our new standing seam sheet metal clamp.”
