The change of name at Entrade is being triggered by a new distribution structure. Entrade’s sales companies in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia and Romania will in future bear the Atel name, while the Entrade companies in Poland, Hungary and Germany will be integrated into Atel’s sales companies in those countries. The integration and change-of-name process is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2006.
Entrade has been an independent subsidiary of Swiss energy company Aare-Tessin Ltd. for Electricity (Atel) since 2002. Entrade’s holding company, which is based in Switzerland, has already changed its name to Atel Energy GmbH.
