CUI Global Subsidiary Orbital U.K. Promotes GasPT Technology to U.K. Energy Industry

- Recent Regulatory Certification of GasPT Device Captivates Industry Interest -

HOUSTON, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CUI Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUI) announced that its wholly-owned Energy subsidiary, Orbital Gas Systems Ltd. ("Orbital UK" or the "Company"), hosted an "Open House/Technical Workshop" (the "Workshop") at its Stone facility on May 10 to drive the U.K. energy industry's interest in its proprietary GasPT® Technology. The Workshop was held following the recent, broad regulatory approval of GasPT Technology by the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem), the U.K.'s government regulator for electricity and downstream natural gas markets.

The Workshop was attended by engineering and technical representatives from all of the U.K.'s largest pipeline transmission and distribution operators, regulatory representatives and consulting groups. Along with a tour of Orbital's world-class facility, participants were treated to a full demonstration of the GasPT and GasPTi devices. 

Orbital's engineers successfully demonstrated the GasPT's unique capabilities to provide; (1) almost "real-time" monitoring of natural gas quality; (2) with no service (carrier or calibration) gases; (3) without the need for in-field calibration; and (4) at a much more cost-effective pricing than other available technology.

Orbital UK President Paul D. White commented, "We were very pleased with the 100% attendance of invitees to our workshop. Participants were impressed with the device's maintenance-free performance and price point, and now that it is certified and approved for use at all directed metering points in the U.K., we saw strong lead generation at our event that we believe should result in additional sales opportunities for our unique technology."

CUI Global President & CEO William Clough added, "Following the broad approval of our unique technology by the highly-respected regulator, Ofgem, this workshop enabled us to further promote the technology to the full spectrum of energy producers and transporters in the U.K. The enthusiasm expressed by participants and the success of our demonstration evidences the need for our device in the marketplace."
