Valen Story
Phillip Daries immigrated from South Africa to the small regional town of Lake Cargelligo Central NSW in 1999. His vision was to replicate his successful South African Alarm and Security business in Australia.
As he bedded down in the Australian business world, it became clear that the electronics and security markets had evolved.
Over the next few years, it became apparent there was a growing need in the industry for a battery supplier who knew, not only the characteristics of various technologies but also understood the technical manufacturing procedures to ensure a quality product is delivered. Regal Electro had positioned themselves as a premium supplier of high-quality energy solutions, offering the complete packaged solution for clients.
Today, Valen has grown exponentially becoming a trusted advisor to our clients within many different industries. Valen is an industry leader in Energy Storage for mission-critical applications and continues to innovate and evolve, keeping ahead of new technologies as they emerge.
Valen looks forward to you joining us on this continued journey!
