Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
LATHAM, New York - Plug Power Inc. (PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, reports its 2014 third quarter results.
Plug Power closed out the third quarter of 2014 with 857 GenDrive units shipped to material handling customers. This equates to a 450 percent increase compared to the third quarter of 2013, when 155 GenDrive units were shipped.
Bookings continue to be strong and during the third quarter of 2014, Plug Power brought in over $25.6 million in bookings from customers including Mercedes-Benz, Coca-Cola, BMW, Walmart, Kroger and Newark Farmers Market.
"Plug Power continues to exhibit growth and record numbers, quarter after quarter," said Andy Marsh, CEO. "Our current customer base is seeing value from our products, firsthand, and companies like Newark Farmers Market, BMW and Central Grocers are refreshing their existing GenDrive fleets by reinvesting in more products from Plug Power. That is true validation."
The company continues to view its hydrogen business as a growth opportunity for revenue and margin enhancement. Plug Power's large-scale hydrogen system infrastructure design, known as GenFuel, has been proven-out at manufacturing and distribution centers across North America. In just one year, Plug Power has deployed GenFuel at five sites with commissioning proceeding at another five sites. Two of the sites in the past quarter were for Walmart to support their distribution centers in Sterling, Illinois, and Johnstown, New York.
"GenKey, our turnkey solution, comprised of GenDrive fuel cell units, GenFuel infrastructure, and GenCare aftermarket service and support provides a one-stop-shop for Plug Power's customers," continued Marsh. "GenKey accelerates customer adoption and helps provide a seamless transition to a hydrogen-powered fleet."
Plug Power has also been established as a source for hydrogen gas -- another success demonstrated by its distribution agreement with Praxair. The agreement pairs Plug Power's GenFuel hydrogen fueling infrastructure solution with Praxair's liquid hydrogen supply capability helping customers realize productivity and environmental benefits.
"I've discussed before my belief that ubiquitous hydrogen fuel is the key to rapidly expanding the fuel cell industry," continued Marsh. "Plug Power's goal of becoming the worldwide leader in this market was backed by several, purposeful steps in the quarter to move the company closer to market leadership."
