Adventurous businessman Andy Low reveals why he took a business risk with his green technology solutions turnkey company, Greenbulb Energy
When engineer Andy Low launched Greenbulb Energy, a turnkey company specialised in modernising port cranes in 2014, he knew that he was taking a huge gamble by leaving a secure job behind for this endeavour.
A lifelong lover of extreme sports, he associates the ups and downs in business to a personal hobby of his—mountain biking, which he once attempted in Tagaytay, the Philippines.
“I encountered a steep uphill climb that really pushed me to my limit. I thought that was the toughest part until I came upon another narrow path, this time downhill at high speed. It was terrifying and exhilarating at the same time, but it taught me that nothing uncomfortable lasts forever,” recalls this soft-spoken managing director of Greenbulb Energy.
Gaining Momentum
Greenbulb provides green technology solutions, specifically with the refurbishment of port cranes. Greenbulb manages the modernisation of cranes encompassing design, engineering, procurement, installation, commissioning and user experience.
Low came up with this idea in 2008 when increasing crude oil prices resulted in an energy crisis in the logistics and manufacturing business.
“The need for alternative solutions to replace diesel made me realise there should be an increased adoption of greener energy. If carmakers can create hybrid or electric cars, why can’t we do it with cranes?” he reasons.
