Orion Energy Expands Voltrek Division to Southeastern United States

Orion Energy Systems has expanded its Voltrek division to the Southeastern United States, marking its third regional presence. The move aligns with federal initiatives emphasizing state-level decisions on EV charging infrastructure allocation. Sungrow Power Supply opened its largest training center in Europe, while AVIC Chengdu Aircraft trailed. Tesla's strategic shift towards high-margin autonomous services and FSD subscriptions could enhance earnings as its robotaxi network scales.

Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX) has announced the expansion of its Voltrek division to the Southeastern United States, marking its third regional presence. This move comes in response to continuing demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging and electrical infrastructure solutions. The expansion is particularly timely, aligning with recent federal initiatives emphasizing state-level decisions on EV charging infrastructure allocation [1].

The Voltrek division, which specializes in EV charging and electrical infrastructure, has established a new office in Jacksonville, Florida, led by William B. Rigsby. Rigsby, who brings a track record of significant sales growth and market expansion in the EV charging industry, will head the new office. He joins Orion from NovaCHARGE, Inc., where he served as Vice President of Sales Operations and Inside Sales for 15 years [1].

Orion's expansion into the Southeastern United States builds on its 12-year presence in the region. The new office in Jacksonville will enable the company to better serve its customers in this growing market. The move is part of a broader strategy to respond to the increasing demand for EV charging solutions and infrastructure, as more states make decisions about allocating public funds for these initiatives [1].

The Southeastern expansion follows Orion's establishment of facilities in the Northeastern United States (Lawrence, MA) and its Midwestern national headquarters in Manitowoc, WI. This geographic expansion allows Orion to be closer to its customers and better serve their needs.

Orion's commitment to sustainability and clean technology is evident in its focus on energy-efficient LED lighting and EV charging solutions. The company specializes in turnkey design-through-installation solutions for large national customers, as well as projects through ESCO and distribution partners. By expanding its presence in the Southeastern United States, Orion aims to help more businesses and organizations achieve their environmental goals and reduce their carbon footprint [1].

In a statement, Orion's Chief Executive Officer, Sally Washlow, expressed her satisfaction with the appointment of William Rigsby to lead the new office. "Our expanding geographic footprint means that Orion/Voltrek professionals are on the ground partnering with customers practically wherever they are located," she said. "We are extremely pleased that a successful producer like William Rigsby is spearheading our initiative in such an important region of the United States" [1].

The Southeastern expansion is a significant step for Orion Energy Systems, positioning the company to capitalize on the growing demand for EV charging infrastructure and services. As more states allocate funds for these initiatives, Orion's presence in the region will enable it to better serve its customers and contribute to the development of a robust EV charging ecosystem.
