Brunnthal, Germany-- SFC, the world’s leading manufacturer of fuel cells for mobile use, today announced the appointment of Pieter Bots (44) as Chief Marketing and Sales Officer. Bots, who founded Freecom Technologies, a global manufacturer of external computer peripherals, brings many years of high tech product commercialization, marketing and manufacturing experience to his function at SFC. After selling his stake in Freecom, Bots decided to join SFC: “Its fascinating mix of break through technological innovations, excellent industry reputation and proven track record make it a very compelling opportunity for me to accept this unique position on the Management Board of SFC. This company will make a difference to the way most people are using mobile energy in a few years time”, Bots says.

SFC fuel cells are being used as off-grid power supplies in numerous areas, eg. motor homes, sailboats, cabins and a broad range of industrial applications. In the near future, SFC’s technology will be applied to power supplies for laptops, consumer electronics and light electric vehicles (LEV’s).

„We are the world’s first fuel cell manufacturer to offer a commercial product portfolio with a reliability record second to none", says Dr. Manfred Stefener, founder and member of the SFC Management Board. „We are now expanding this unique position with a strong focus towards the commercialization and expansion of our product portfolio. Pieter has an impressive track record in successfully commercializing and branding high tech products. His entrepreneurial spirit and track record will give us a head start in the development of mass markets for our products."

As a result of SFC ’s successful cooperation with Hymer, one of Europe’s leading recreational vehicle manufacturers, both companies recently announced in a joint press release the standard integration of SFC ’s industry leading A50 fuel cell into Hymer‘s prestigious S-Class series of motor homes.

SFC is expanding production capacities together with cooperation partner DuPont to satisfy a strongly growing demand for its successful range of fuel cell products.
