PPR BOLT

IT ALL STARTED WITH A MOTOCROSS BIKE

In June, 2011, PPR founder, Greg Albertyn, took over sales at a well-known Southern California energy representative firm with the aim of connecting power equipment suppliers and dealers with the major players in the power industry. Born with an entrepreneurial spirit and a drive to win, Albertyn quickly saw the vast, untapped opportunity of the SoCal power market and began accelerating business into high-gear.

Sales grew quickly, by more than 200% in 18 months, and manufacturers and power generation equipment suppliers soon followed. With limited partnership opportunity and the owner’s blessing, Greg launched the rep firm, Pacific Power Reps, in 2013.

Greg Albertyn is a former World and U.S. National Motocross Champion. The relevance may seem distant to the power industry, yet it’s these same championship-winning character traits that bring success from one industry to the next. Greg and the PPR team’s promise to their customers, manufacturers and power equipment suppliers include the same level of dedication, determination, excellence, honesty, integrity, perseverance, and loyalty that won Greg many motocross championships. So, with only a little more than half a decade under our belts, we are still considered the new kids in the power industry, but our winning attitude places PPR on the championship platform. We’re here for you!
