“Companies create values. But should we measure these exclusively in terms of economics? Isn’t it more a case of going beyond day-to-day business and taking measures against the great challenges of the day. Or to put it another way: it’s high time we established values for the future!

Because climate change is impacting our environment ever more dramatically. It is already threatening the habitats of numerous species of animals, and it also has ever more perceptible consequences for mankind. There is no doubt that protecting the blue planet is our most urgent task and an obligation for generations of today and of the future. Everyone of us should start doing something. Now!

The network made up of Schüco and its partners has given itself this responsibility. By acting now. Together we are creating energy-efficient buildings. We are developing innovative solutions for generating clean, solar energy. And making a contribution with sustainable values, to securing the future of our planet in all its uniqueness. Be a part of it.”

For generating energy, Schüco’s portfolio includes integrated solar power and solar heat systems for both residential and commercial buildings. The company’s overarching aim is to reduce global warming and thus make a significant contribution towards preserving our planet for future generations. Schüco has already been in North America for over three years, with offices on the East and West Coasts of the United States. Building on its experience in the U.S., the market leader intends to get a foothold in Canada as well. Since July 1^st, 2009, Schüco has been successively building a direct local support network in Canada. Windows and façades as well as solar solutions for the specialist’s Canadian partners are now handled directly from Schüco’s Canadian headquarters in Toronto. In the longer term, the market leader intends to grow its business in Canada and consistently expand its activities there.

Larry Bresnahan, the VP Solar Sales who has over 20 years of experience in the building material and solar industry, is proud that Schüco will be offering various key improvements and benefits to the Canadian market: “Schüco Canada will provide sales, engineering and logistics support for the aluminum and solar divisions. In addition, solar PV mounting systems will be manufactured in Ontario and will meet domestic content requirements as defined by the Ontario Power Authority. There will be a local inventory of solar PV and solar thermal equipment. Additionally Schüco Canada will offer solar thermal and solar PV training at a facility near Toronto.”
Bresnaham leads a sales team that enables a partner network of installers, dealers, developers and integrators to succeed with Schüco products.
