- SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG is changing its company name to SFC Energy AG
with immediate effect
- Change of company name reflects positioning as provider of complete
systems for off-grid energy supply
Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, July 22, 2010 - SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG,
technology and market leader for mobile and off-grid power solutions based
on fuel cells, is changing its company name to SFC Energy AG with immediate
effect. The name change reflects the company's future positioning as a
provider of complete systems for off-grid energy supply. The company has
consequently evolved its business model within the last years towards
comprehensive off-grid power solutions. Fuel cells remain core technology
and components of the whole-product solutions.
'Our experience as pioneer in the commercialisation of fuel cells has shown
that customers in many fields do not only need a fuel cell but total
solution', says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG. 'With our
strategic direction we put enhanced concentration on integrated system
solutions. The change of the company's name reflects our positioning and
underlines the intention to provide whole-product off-grid power solutions
to our customers and their specific needs'.
With the introduction of the EFOY ProCube and the SFC Power Manager in the
industry and defense markets, SFC has successfully launched initial
whole-product solutions. Today, SFC products are applied as hybrid
solutions with batteries and solar systems, for example. With this concept
SFC offers customers lightweight, silent and flexible off-grid power
supply. The company has sold about 19,000 systems for off-grid power supply
in leisure, industry, mobility and defense markets. SFC solutions also play
a more and more important role in the e-mobility market. Combined heat and
power (CHP) with SFC fuel cells offers an attractive solution which
eliminates existing limitations of electric vehicles like short-distance
range, insufficient winter driving capability, less practical charging
times and a missing charging infrastructure. The intelligent combination of
battery and fuel cell as hybrid solution enables an environmentally
friendly power supply directly onboard the vehicle and generates heat for
battery conditioning and car interior. There is no need to recharge the
vehicle at an electrical outlet and the vehicle offers high performance in
winter and every day use.
