UGE International Ltd. announced the following staffing changes based on growing volumes of business in the US and the Philippines. Joining as the Managing Director of UGE Philippines is Enrique "Kits" Chuidian, Jr. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Business Development at Aboitiz Construction Inc. Prior to this, he was the Country Manager for Stoller Philippines Inc., and the VP & General Manager for Puyat Steel Corp. UGE Philippines Co-Founder, Tyler Adkins, has taken on the US-based role of Director of New Markets, where he will lead new business development initiatives and expand UGE's Green Bond offering, an investment product open to retail investors. Of particular interest is the commercial, industrial and community solar market in Maine, which recently passed a pro renewable energy policy.

UGE has also taken the bold step to further build on its competitive cost advantage by moving its drafting headquarters from Toronto to the Philippines. The drafting team supports UGE's engineering team, which remains based out of Toronto. Two seasoned solar engineers have joined the Philippines office; one to lead drafting, which supports UGE's global business, and the other to lead project engineering for the Philippines market. The Toronto-based engineering team has also added a project engineering manager, Valentine Aigbogun, formerly of Panasonic Eco Solutions.
