Econetique’s successful participation in the recent Property Expo has spurred the company to take up a participating stand at the current Eco Spring Home Fair at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali, which closes today.
Econetique, a subsidiary of the FXB Group. specialises in the provision of eco-friendly industry supplies. It has been in operation for over a year, but is set to officially open its Eco Technology Showcase Office in Xewkija, Gozo in the first weeks of April. Econetique also operates from FXB outlets in Qormi and Msida.
“Encouraged by the response during the Property Fair, we are expecting even more positive feedback and public interest, especially in the light of the spiralling cost of fuel, which has spurred companies, individuals and whole countries to re-assess their energy requirements,” says Econetique managing director Ryan Xuereb. “We are conscious that everyone is seeing how best they can maximise the money spent on their utility bills and, if possible, reduce the related expenses. The present situation is becoming increasingly unsustainable and eventually, eco-conscious solutions will become a way of life. This is where Econetique comes in. We have a proposition that promotes forward eco-thinking and eco-friendly solutions that favour a greener and more favourable environment.”
Mr Xuereb added: “We really never expected that the Property Fair would lead to the feedback and tangible interest that we are getting now. In fact, we are in a position to confirm that Econetique is already following up a number of projects resulting from the Fair, which is extremely encouraging.
“Our innovative vertical wind turbine, designed specifically for the urban environment, was the obvious protagonist that took the limelight at the Property Expo and we are naturally expecting this attention to be repeated from all those visiting the Eco fair,” he said. “In fact, everyone was so curious about it. Comments ranged from ‘it looks like something out of science fiction’ to ‘it looks like a work of art’. We also had interesting discussions with a number of architects who wanted to integrate it into their designs to use as a functional sculpture and attraction for their project.
“Architects and designers were also very interested in our urban furniture and in our PV/Energy Efficient Street/Park Lighting. In fact, public interest in PVs was very encouraging, even though people still need to know more about the system and how it actually works.
“Having said that, we are following a number of large PV installations, in which we are also compiling the respective ERDF energy grant application. Other areas which attracted attention on our stand were the LED lighting range and products related to insulation, especially from developers and contractors who are now very aware of the requirements that every project will need to have for an Energy Efficiency Ratings Certificate.”
