Summit Energy Re-Brands GfE Energy Management
Builds Recognition of Summit Energy Name in Europe
Summit Energy Services, Inc., a leading privately held energy management firm, today announced that Belgium-based GfE Energy Management, which Summit acquired in 2006, has been renamed Summit Energy, effective immediately.
“Summit Energy is becoming recognized as the leading global brand for energy management,” said Steve Wilhite, President and CEO of Summit Energy Services. “In North America, the Summit Energy name is already synonymous with comprehensive energy management services, market knowledge and depth of resources. We believe the name will be just as powerful globally as our geographic footprint continues to expand.
“Today’s global economy and unrelenting focus on energy issues are indicative of the increasing complexity and volatility our clients face. By investing in our business across all regions, and acquiring and integrating outstanding energy management organizations such as GfE Energy Management, we at Summit Energy are able to tackle these challenges wherever our clients do business.”
The re-branding effort includes all of Summit Energy’s European offices - Belgium, France, Germany and The Netherlands. Summit Energy’s European operation is responsible for managing the energy at more than 3,000 client sites with a total annual energy spend of approximately 2.1 billion Euros. Over more than three decades, GfE Energy Management became one of the most respected firms in Europe, serving the energy management needs of clients throughout the region.
