Field Pro Tech
Anchored in wind energy
background
Ben was asked by the Swedish company Cresto Group to build a vehicle for product sales in the USA. A company that would capitalise on market opportunity and existing relationships in the energy market.
Field Pro Tech Inc is the new start-up that was created to introduce cutting-edge Scandinavian working at height rescue equipment into the US market. A direct response to a clear market gap in the US, Field Pro Tech offers a range of cutting edge rescue equipment that is significantly safer and more user-friendly than incumbents.
