Thermoprodukter is new marine distribution partner for EFOY fuel cells by SFC Energy in Sweden

Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, and Kalmar, Sweden, May 12, 2010 – EFOY marine fuel cells manufactured by SFC Energy will be available for Swedish yacht and boat builders and owners from now on by Thermoprodukter. The company is the new EFOY distribution partner for the marine market in Sweden. As one of the leading wholesale distributors to the Swedish marine market with focus on high end products in the field of refrigeration and water heaters, Thermoprodukter will promote and distribute the EFOY fuel cell series to marine retailers throughout Sweden. For independent and reliable silent power generation on bord, Thermoprodukter offers the complete EFOY product range for the marine market with charging capacities
ranging from 600 Wh to 2160 Wh per day.

During the first presence at this year’s Stockholm International Boat Show (Allt för Sjön 2010) the EFOY 2200 fuel cell was already among the finalists of the New Marine Product Award 2010 (Årets Nyhet 2010) competition. The New Marine Product Award recognizes new products which have an edge within design, innovation and environment.

“We have chosen to integrate the EFOY fuel cell series into our program because EFOY is the perfect addition to our portfolio as it provides reliable power and ultimate independence to boat owners – and all this in a green way”, says Per Henemo, Thermoprodukter.


„We are very pleased to introduce Thermoprodukter as our marine distributor in Sweden”, says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG. “Thermoprodukter’s decades-long experience with technically advanced products and the respective trust of the Swedish customers makes them the ideal partner to fur-ther our EFOY fuel cells on the Swedish marine market. We are looking forward to see more and more boat owners with autonomous, comfortable and reliable energy supply on board. Our nomination at the New Marine Product Award of the Stockholm International Boat Show already showed that we are well on track in this regard”.


With over 18,000 fuel cells sold, EFOY has been around on the leisure market as alternative on board power source for years. They are a true partner to sailors and proven by cross Atlantic regatta winners as they provide reliable electrical power on board 24/7, regardless of the season or the weather. The fuel cells are lightweight, silent, environmentally friendly and on board power generation is fully automatic - there is no need for running the engine or plug in to shore power.

Fuel for the EFOY is available at over 1,500 sales points across Europe in convenient 5 and 10 liter cartridges. The convenient cartridges enable boat owners to take a lot of energy at very low weight on their boat. An EFOY M10 cartridge with 10 liter fuel contains 11.1 kilo watt hours of power. That is enough power to independently operate average electrical consumers on board for weeks.
