Global architecture firm expands to Charlotte

Published

on

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cromwell, a global, full-service architecture, engineering, and building services firm, headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, announced today it is expanding its offices to Charlotte, ultimately creating 20 jobs in the region. Select CLT, the business recruitment team at the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance, played an integral role in the company’s expansion process. 

Global architecture, engineering, and building services firm Cromwell opens new office in Charlotte.

As one of the oldest architecture firms in the country, the 140-year-old company has legacy clients around the United States. As part of their strategic plan, Cromwell is expanding its footprint to better support existing clients with a local presence, while continuing to cultivate a growing number of business relationships in the region. 

Cromwell’s expansion will initially focus on servicing existing clients within their federal and industrial market base in the region. While serving existing clients, Cromwell has a plan to hire and develop local architects, engineers and other design professionals over the next few years to support all their current service offerings out of the Charlotte office. Long term, Cromwell is committed to becoming active members of the Charlotte business community. While growing their team, client network, and service offerings in the region, Cromwell is eager to give back through community service and engage in local partnerships, with the goal of creating lasting impact in the Charlotte area.

“We are thrilled to be coming to Charlotte, being part of this great community, and supporting the amazing growth happening here,” Dan Fowler, president of Cromwell, said. “After studying several major metro areas, Charlotte consistently ranked at the top of our key categories. Proximity to great talent, access to our clients in the mid-Atlantic region, and the pro-business environment were key factors in our decision. Everyone we met in the community, including city and county officials, really embraced us—and the team at the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance did a fantastic job of orchestrating our study and showcasing Charlotte as a great place for our team to grow. We’re excited to continue our 140 years of positively impacting communities through great design with this expansion in the Charlotte area.”

The CLT Alliance began working with Cromwell last summer after the company reached out for assistance in site selection and market research. Throughout the site selection process, the team, with support from Charlotte Center City Partners, assisted the company decision makers as they further evaluated the market. Cromwell considered locations throughout the US before landing on an office in South End.

“Our team really enjoyed working with Cromwell during their nation-wide site search to showcase what Charlotte has to offer for their future operations,” Kylie Barnes, economic development specialist at the CLT Alliance, said. “It was great to see their excitement about the region grow during their site visits. From the start I could tell that Charlotte would be a great fit for them due to the quality-of-life aspect that meant a lot to them and their employees. Cromwell has a long history of partnering with their community to make a positive impact and we are so excited to have them here in the Charlotte Region.”

Cromwell, a 100% Employee-owned company, is in the process of relocating key employees to the region and is currently planning to open their Charlotte office by the end of 2024. 

“My family and I are extremely excited to join the Charlotte community,” Kody Hart, regional director at Cromwell, said. “Throughout our visits and short period living in the area, our family has been overwhelmed by the reception and kindness we’ve encountered from individuals in the Charlotte area. We look forward to becoming active members of the community, building lasting relationships, and raising our children in this wonderful area.”

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

Haloid Solutions is the go-to resource for U.S. businesses and municipalities in search of financing and leasing for two-way radios, walkie talkies, communications equipment, accessories, and services. Focused on reliability, affordability, and performance, Haloid strives to equip professionals in all communication-based industries with the resources they need most.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.

About Vipboss

Vipboss is a specialist in the lithium battery industry, focusing on the research, production, and manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs. The company is committed to advancing battery technology with an emphasis on reliable performance, safety, and extended service life.
