American Foundry Society and EMEX, LLC Announce Partnership to Provide Energy Risk Management Solutions
Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- EMEX, LLC, a leading technology firm that is revolutionizing how energy is bought and sold through its live Reverse Auction Exchange, announced an alliance with the American Foundry Society (AFS) today. This strategic partnership has been formed to consult and assist in the procurement of electricity and natural gas rates for AFS Corporate Members through EMEX’s Reverse Auction Platform. EMEX – a new Corporate Member of AFS – will also provide customized energy risk management strategies for AFS Corporate Members.
Leo Baran, Director of Membership Services for the AFS, is excited about the opportunities created through the partnership with EMEX. “Our members are always looking for ways to become more efficient. Since the launch of the Energy Solutions Program and after months of research and consideration by Brian Reinke and TDI Consulting, we believe that EMEX is a key strategic partner to strengthen our program and provide additional benefits to our Corporate Members.”
“Today’s partnership marks another step forward for EMEX,” said Todd Bennett, Director of EMEX’s National Energy Portfolio. “Since the founding of EMEX in 2007, we have always poured significant resources into continually enhancing our technology and finding better ways to help our clients manage energy costs. The American Foundry Society is a well-known and respected organization both domestically and internationally dating back to 1896. We are proud to be corporate members of the AFS and look forward to working with their constituent members.”
As part of EMEX’s participation in the Energy Solutions Program, EMEX will work together with AFS and its Corporate Members to provide education about energy markets and develop customized energy risk management strategies for AFS Members to assist them with the procurement of electricity and natural gas.
“We look forward to utilizing our energy risk management expertise to help AFS Corporate Members control their electricity and natural gas costs in states that are open to retail competition,” said Phillip Golden, EMEX’s Director of Products and Risk Management. “We are committed to providing the exceptional service which is the hallmark of EMEX and has been a foundation of our success.”
The partnership will enable AFS Corporate Members to utilize the Flagship EMEX® Reverse Auction Platform, which generates highly competitive energy rates in real time from the dozens of National Retail Energy Suppliers that work with EMEX. The live online reverse auction, coupled with the procurement strategies that can be custom-tailored for each individual company, will create a compelling opportunity to easily manage and reduce the cost of energy which is typically one of their major expenses outside the purchase of raw materials
EMEX will be presenting at the Annual AFS Congress in Schaumberg, Illinois in April.
