A strategic location to support U.S. demand
With the creation of TEMO USA Inc. the French company has taken a further step in its international development. Located in Portland, Maine, this new structure is equipped with sales offices and a logistics center dedicated to reseller supply and after-sales service. This organization should enable TEMO to better meet the needs of the American market, where demand for its products is growing.
Since the launch of the TEMO.450 electric motor for small boats, over 300 of the 5,000 units distributed worldwide have been sold in North America. " The company's move into the United States is a key step in the development of our business "underlines Alexandre Seux, TEMO President, before adding: " It should enable us to strengthen our presence in the field and rapidly gain market share in this territory, where we know there is great potential. "This expansion comes at a time when the electrification of pleasure boating is booming in North America, where solutions like TEMO's are becoming increasingly popular.
Clear advantages for American boaters
With a motor weighing just 5 kg, the TEMO.450 stands out for its lightness and ease of use. This model is particularly appealing to sailors and inland waterway cruisers. According to Nick Steenberg, Development Manager for TEMO USA, "L yachtsmen who enjoy sailing and inland waterways can benefit from quick installation and quiet outings on the water. "Ease of transport and storage is also a major plus for the TEMO.450, as a Connecticut user attests:" The TEMO provides me with enough power to get out of my marina, and is easy to stow in the bow of the sailboat. "
A promising future for TEMO in the United States
TEMO's arrival on the North American market doesn't stop there. The brand intends to capitalize on its presence at the Annapolis Sailboat Show, where the TEMO.450 Carbon will be presented. In addition, TEMO USA is looking for new dealers, offering them logistical and commercial advantages thanks to the local warehouse. This business model will reduce costs for dealers and increase their margins, while guaranteeing efficient, localized customer service.
