The meeco Group recently received an order from Helion Solar GmbH for ten sun2go^TM portable power systems. Helion is the exclusive distributor for the sun2go^TM in Switzerland, and has already resold these ten units to customers signifying the growing success of the sun2go^TM product.

The sun2go^TM is meeco´s latest renewable energy solution: This portable, fully integrated product stores 1 kWh of electricity and provides a nominal output up to 600W in either AC or DC power. With this capacity and flexibility, the sun2go^TM can power small electronic devices appliances, and tools such as lights, fans, heaters, measuring equipment, audio players, laptops, TV sets, and power hand tools. It can even recharge an electric scooter or start a traditional automobile if its battery is dead. Protected by a sturdy, rainproof, wheeled trolley, the sun2go^TM can be used almost anywhere, even in harsh environmental conditions.

The sun2go^TM can be charged by using either the electricity grid or photovoltaic modules that use the natural power of the sun. meeco offers a variety of solar modules, including a foldable version which can be carried on top of the sun2go^TM trolley.

Taking advantage of these practical benefits, Helion Solar sells the sun2go^TM for use in caravans, for camping, on sailing boats, for mountain shelters, bungalows, bowers or wooden houses, as well as for use at home to bridge power outages.

meeco AG diversifies its business activities into a new area, trading re-imported agrochemicals in the Swiss market. Swiss farmers are offered high quality chemicals, such as agricides and fertilizers, at discount prices. For this purpose,  meeco AG has founded its subsidiary meeco agro AG, located in Zug.

Agrochemicals are highly priced in Switzerland. The main reasons for the immensely differing prices between directly purchased, and re-imported chemicals are the near monopolistic structures of agricultural retailing.

This is the bearing point of business for the newly founded meeco agro AG. In this newly entered field of business activities, the meeco AG subsidiary is expected to establish itself as a new market participant in agricultural trading. meeco agro AG deals with the worldwide production, trading, marketing and distribution of goods for agriculture and gardening, in particular agricides. The market will be dealt with from headquarters at Zug, and from the operations sub-office in Bad Ragaz.

As a subsidiary of meeco AG, the new enterprise will have sufficient resources at hand to start swiftly. Thus a quick, reliable and fairly priced delivery of means of production, auxiliaries and goods is guaranteed. Larger market participants as well as regional retailers will be served by meeco agro AG, however, the most important client remaining the single agricultural end-user.

Internet shopping and a strong, versatile web-representation will be offered to the younger generation of traders and farmers, catching the momentum in a rapidly modernizing agricultural world.

meeco agro AG will commence business by August 1, 2009. In a first phase, a basic selection of about 40 certified agricide substances in a variety of about 100 combinations will be offered.
