“Working with the right partners is key in this industry,” said Barry Contrael, director of low voltage electronics for Siemens Infrastructure and Cities. “Siemens has a wide variety of products and services, but distributors like Allied Building Products are critical in filling the necessary gaps as well as maintaining relationships with the vast number of contractors and tradesmen in this country. By teaming up we can provide an entire solution now to address the needs of the solar industry, with a reputation and financial stability few can match.”
