Dyesol’s North American subsidiary, Dyesol Inc., commenced operations with the appointment of Marc Thomas as CEO of the newest Dyesol subsidiary, based in the U.S., and the acceptance of an initial order, from the University of Calgary for DSC laboratory equipment and training. Thomas’ appointment has been planned for several months and the formation of Dyesol Inc. is intended to usher in the company’s next stage of growth.

“This is the first step in entering the dynamic USA market, and we will be actively pursuing the many opportunities arising from the Obama government stimulus package targeting the clean energy technology sector. We believe that this represents a very significant opportunity for Dyesol.” said Sylvia Tulloch, managing director of Dyesol Industries.

Thomas’ transition to CEO was effective as of July 1, 2009. Prior to this new appointment, he was a founder of Livescribe Inc., and also served as their vice president of operations and managing director of Livescribe Asia.
