Swedish solar technology leader Midsummer and Portuguese leading supplier of bitumen membrane roofing solutions Imperalum have signed a letter of intent to provide solar integrated roofs to commercial customers in Spain, Portugal and Portuguese speaking countries in Africa. Imperalum will also install the Midsummer SLIM solar panel on their facility in Montijo, Portugal.
“We see a strong interest in Midsummer’s products on the Spanish and Portuguese market and this new collaboration with Imperalum further strengthens our presence on the Iberian Peninsula, making our products more available to customers in the area”, said Sven Lindström, CEO, Midsummer. “Our products are very well suited for the local architecture, weather and solar conditions in southern Europe and will be perfectly integrated in Imperalum’s products”
Imperalum is one of the Iberian Peninsula’s most important producers of waterproofing bituminous products with sales in Portugal, Spain and Portuguese speaking African countries.
