Logicor signs a deal with a major Australian distributor

2/4/2012

Logicor signs a deal with a major Australian distributor to exclusively distribute the Australian version of its Green Plug products into Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

The products for this market will be made outside of Australia at one of Logicor's existing manufacturers but no final decision has been taken as to which one will be tasked with making that product.

The deal represents a very expedient way for Logicor to move into the Australian market in a major way with a very experienced company that specialises in this field. There is a further four to six months of work to be done in preparation for the launch of the Australian products but so far 2012 is turning out to be quite a year.

Green Plug mentioned in Parialment again

2/10/2011

Logicor and the Green Plug featured in a recent debate in the House of Commons on Environmental Protection and Green Growth. Mary Creagh said:

"I could not agree more with my hon. Friend.
I must tell the hon. Member for East Antrim (Sammy Wilson) that a green company in my constituency, Logicor, manufactures a product called a Green Plug, and has business angel backing to roll it out nationally and internationally. The plug fits to an iron or other appliance, and automatically turns it off after 15 or 20 minutes if someone leaves the room and forgets to do so. It has been shown that that can reduce carbon emissions in the home by about 50%. The company's research demonstrated that what we all fail to switch off most often is our computer printer. I share that with the House and the nation for those who wish do their bit on climate change."

Green Plug nominated for 'Made in Britain' project

1/9/2011

Mary Creagh, Labour Member of Parliament for Wakefield and Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has nominated Green Plug for the 'Made By Britain" project to illustrate the quality of UK manufacturing in her constituency.

The project was launched on 6th July by Vince Cable, who said:

"British industry remains among the very best for the quality and originality of what it makes. We export our goods to every corner of the world, from famous international brands to products which, while less well known, make a real difference to the lives of millions. With the Olympics bringing so much attention to Britain this is a fantastic opportunity to show the rest of the world that we make world-beating products."

Energy Saving Winner

1/6/2011

Logicor recently ran a mini trial to see if consumers were given the choice of Green Plugs for their homes totally free of charge how many they would have and what effect that would have on their electricity consumption. The person who received the best energy saving results achieved 51% energy savings during the trial. He is seen here pictured receiving his winning cheque for £354.80.

The Results of the trial can be seen here:

Total percentage saving on the whole trial33.50%

Average household saving38.33%

Best saving achieved51%

It is clear that if Green Plugs were deployed to more homes and on more appliances then greater energy savings could be achieved. When you consider that all the Green Plug does is it turns electric appliances off that you accidentally leave on and unattended the energy saving is substantial.

The trial reinforces Logicor's belief that the quickest way to achieve the highest energy saving in today's households is to simply turn off appliances, and the Green Plug is a great way to take care of that process without having to think about it.

green Plug Adaptor for the USA

1/6/2011

The USA version of the energy saving Adaptor differs from the UK version not just by the pin configuration but it also has a fully user adjustable timer control.

The second new feature to be released in the USA version is an interchangeable fragrance pellet that will release a room fragrance to combine the functions of an air freshener and an energy saving device in one single product. Each pellet will give up to 30 days fragrance. The new Adaptor will hit the US market later in 2011 via our US distributor.

Energy Saving Trust verifies Green Plug ENergy & Carbon Savings

2/5/2011

The Energy Saving Trust uses a number of saving statements in their marketing material, website content and other mediums to illustrate the effect that devices within the home have upon our energy bills and CO2 footprint.

By using comparative examples it allows consumers to visualise a usually abstract concept such as CO2 emissions into something more tangible.

The saving statements created for Logicor's Green Plug were developed to do just that, by creating examples and scenarios for different situations the Green Plug could be used, a consumer can start to build a picture of what impact their actions have and how the Green Plug can help mitigate that impact..
