Verdek Celebrates 10 Years of Success
Published: March 28, 2017
Verdek is a pioneer of the EV charging infrastructure indutry. A long time has gone by since we installed the first Level 1 stations at City Hall in Houston in 2008 and at the Whole Foods Market store on Lamar Street in Austin, Texas which is next to WFM Headquarters in 2009.
Verdek was founded by Guy Mannino, former CEO of Pirelli Tire North America. “Moving from fast cars and gas guzzlers, to quiet EVs was a big change. We started installing EV charging stations when EV drivers could only acquire conversions kits for the Prius Hybrid cars. It has been a fascinating experience growing with the market and we are proud of our achievements and enjoy the challenge of reaching new goals” says Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek.
Verdek is now a leader in the EV charging infrastructure industry with thousands of stations installed all over the US. The Verdek Technical and Product Support Department is available 24/7 to support and train Verdek’ customers. Verdek also has developed a nationwide network of authorized installers that is available to install and service EV charging stations pre and post installation. Verdek has a vast range of networked (remotely controlled) and no-network (plug & charge) EV charging stations. Verdek choses its partners carefully and was among the first companies to promote Chargepoint, and subsequently added other charging station product lines from Schneider, Aerovironment, EVoCharge, Efacec, and Clipper Creek.

Verdek also introduced in the US the first Virtual Pipeline to bring gas to areas where natural gas lines are not available and a new line of BioGas treatment equipment to generate RNG (Renewable Natural Gas) from BioGas digesters enabling the clean gas to be injected into gas pipelines.
Verdek recently added Microgrid Solutions from Gridscape to address the resilience of the electrical grid to avoid the power outages experienced during major weather events such as Hurricane Irene or Sandy.
