ACU Aurora Solar Technologies Inc

NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2014) - ACT Aurora Control Technologies Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:ACU) ("Aurora" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Ayres as Chief Operating Officer effective May 19, 2014. Mr. Ayres joins the leadership team with the responsibility of delivering a winning business pursuit strategy, developing enterprise supply agreements for Aurora's products and services and refining our marketing and customer-facing messaging.

Mr. Ayres has a proven record of developing business objectives, directing business and sales strategy and leading organizations to achieve growth and increased profitability. He spent 15 years with Measurex in various roles, culminating in leading a 300 employee team as Vice President, North America Sales & Service. When Honeywell bought Measurex, Mr. Ayres was appointed VP & General Manager of Honeywell's Paper Business and led the $600M operation to double-digit profitability. For the last ten years, Mr. Ayres has been Chief Operating Officer of Yes Video, a digital imaging company, where he has led the global commercialization and distribution efforts and has delivered consistent sales and earnings growth.

"I am thrilled to have Greg join the Aurora Team," said Michael Heaven, Executive Chairman. "He brings front-line experience in the Measurex results-selling approach to the photovoltaic industry and a proven record of closing significant business including major supply and distribution agreements. He joins Aurora at the point where we are seeing a significant increase in the photovoltaic industry's capital spending and growing sales opportunities for our industry-leading measurement and control solutions."

"There is a very bright future for solar power generation in almost every geography. The manufacturing of photovoltaic cells is in it's infancy in terms of deploying automation technology to measure and control the production lines. Aurora Control Technologies is perfectly positioned with the technology that enables the photovoltaic manufacturers to meet this demand by significantly improving line efficiency, tightening control at key manufacturing steps, and ultimately producing higher quality product," said Greg Ayres. "I see my experience with Honeywell, Measurex and Yes Video as a perfect fit for Aurora Control Technologies and look forward to driving value creation for our customers, employees and investors."

The Board of Directors has granted an additional 450,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers and employees for their contributions to the company and 75,000 incentive options to SECTORSPEAK Inc. for investor relations services. The exercise price of the options is set at $0.40 and they will expire in five years. The stock options are subject to regulatory approval.
