Plug Power Showcases Big Box Retailer as New GenKey Customer
May 19 2015 - 7:00AM
Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean,
reliable energy solutions, announces a big box retailer as their
recent new customer receiving a comprehensive GenKey hydrogen and
fuel cell system to power their material handling fleet in its new
distribution warehouse constructed in Troy Township near Toledo,
Ohio.
The GenKey installation is fully deployed, including 177
GenDrive units that will power a mix of class-2 and class-3 lift
and reach trucks, a GenFuel hydrogen fuel supply and storage
infrastructure, and a GenCare maintenance contract. This site is
the first to deploy Plug Power's outdoor skid, the newest GenFuel
enhancement. Bringing the skid in-house gives Plug Power greater
quality control and positively influences the Company's gross
margin roadmap.
Most importantly, this new big box retail customer has more than
100 distribution centers in North America. Plug Power is currently
in discussions with this partner for future deployments across
their network. This represents a key base-customer, critical to
Plug Power's growth strategy and incredibly influential in regards
to the Company's revenue, bookings and shipments.
"Plug Power has done a tremendous job at deploying our GenKey
solution with a broad range of customers who are critical to our
growth," said Andy Marsh, CEO at Plug Power. "This new big box
retailer falls in line with customers like Walmart, Kroger and Ace
Hardware. And, we intend to have a similar relationship in helping
this customer realize the business improvements provided by a Plug
Power solution."
