• Network of 10 strategically located warehouses established across the U.S. and Canada • Final mile solution optimizes supply chain efficiencies for delivery of SFC’s fuel cell technology • Smart combination of effective solutions reduces carbon by approximately 25 percent for SFC
Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, Toronto, Canada, 2 April 2025 – SFC Energy AG (“SFC”, F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading provider of hydrogen and methanol fuel cells for stationary, portable and mobile hybrid power solutions, announces a partnership with global logistics company Kuehne+Nagel. Through this partnership, Kuehne+Nagel will provide a more sustainable and efficient last-mile solution for SFC Energy, and advance both companies’ sustainability goals.
Kuehne+Nagel has optimized SFC’s supply chain by leveraging a network of 10 strategically positioned warehouses across the U.S. and Canada. This approach reduces the final mile delivery times by 75 percent, shortening delivery distances and shipping times to its customers. Additionally, it strengthens SFC’s distribution network, ensuring fast and convenient delivery of fuel cartridges from its production facility to customers, even in remote areas of the two countries.
Kuehne+Nagel has helped SFC reduce carbon by approximately 25 percent compared to the former transport solution. The company achieved this through a smart combination of several effective solutions. This involves shifting to longer full truckload lanes and shorter less-than-truckload lanes. This approach allows improved optimization and delivery planning in collaboration with local partners. Additionally, the use of long-combination vehicles – which allows a single truck to pull two 53-foot trailers, when possible – further improves efficiency. Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG: “As our North American customer base continues to expand, the demands on our business processes also increase. To meet these demands and uphold our own high standards, we are delighted to strengthen our trusted partnership with Kuehne+Nagel Canada. Having Kuehne+Nagel’s robust and reliable logistics network as our backbone, we are well-positioned for continued success and to further contribute to global decarbonization.”
Dianna Fioravanti-Ashikwe, National Manager, Kuehne+Nagel Canada: “SFC aims to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of their final mile solutions. We are honoured by their trust in us to support this objective by developing, managing, and monitoring an optimized supply chain that not only brings them closer to their customers but also enhances their service quality. Kuehne+Nagel has committed to the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) and has taken major steps to make low-emission transport solutions available for its customers through partnerships such as this one with SFC, which we believe drives meaningful change.”
