PRESS RELEASE

London, UK: 31st May 2012 - Energenie, the designer and manufacturer of clever, innovative energy saving products for both consumers and businesses has today announced that it has signed an agreement with Gem Distribution, making them their exclusive retail distributor.

Energenie's business philosophy is based on providing products for customers that are convenient, save money and importantly help to reduce energy consumption.   The company's current product range includes a variety of energy and time saving solutions from the Standby Saver to more innovative products such as the Power Management System which enables the user to programme controlled sockets via a computer interface that can be switched off at pre-determined times.  Recent additions include a remote controlled retrofit Smart Radiator Valve offering three daily programmable options and Remote GSM Controlled Power Socket which can be switched off and on via a mobile phone and advises of power loss. This is particularly useful for solving remote router problems and where remote locations loose power.   

As the market becomes more eco-aware, the necessity for Gem to provide energy saving products is ever increasing.  With their diversified and specialist portfolio, Energenie's products will compliment a great number of consumer electronics already available from Gem as they develop in the UK.

"We're delighted to working with Gem Distribution" says Oliver Tadd, Commercial Manager at Energenie.  "With our designs and innovation and Gem's clear leading position in the retail distribution sector this partnership deal will be spearhead our push into the UK retail sector."
