Continued success for Solar Solve in Korea
Solar Solve are having continued success in the Far East with the help of Samgong Co. Ltd, its world wide distributor based in Busan
Solar Solve Marine has returned from a visit to the Kor-Marine Exhibition in Busan with a contract worth in excess of $500,000 over the next 12 months.
Solar Solve’s chairman John Lightfoot explained: “Korea has always been a highly competitive market and one that we have always had to fight very hard for, to keep our market share. Alas we are now a victim of our own success, having introduced the SolaSolv anti-glare roller sunscreen as a navigation safety aid into the South Korean market in 1991. It very quickly became the world’s brand leading product but unfortunately it is also the standard that all of our competitors have used to manufacture various copies. Fortunately it seems that few, if any of them, have got it completely right because the SolaSolv brand continues to flourish all over the world with Korea retaining its number one spot as a result of this latest deal.”
Julie Lightfoot, Solar Solve’s managing director, added that the new contract will generate at least half a million US dollars worth of orders for the company throughout next year and will ensure the job security of three full time employees.
The 4,000 SolaSafe antiglare roller sunscreens will be sent to Samgong Co. Ltd, Solar Solve’s world wide distributor based in Busan, who will supply the majority of them to Korean shipbuilders but some will be re-exported to other shipbuilders in the Far East.
