TORONTO, November 10, 2004 -- Hydrogenics Corporation (NASDAQ: HYGS; TSX: HYG), a designer and manufacturer of hydrogen and fuel cell systems, today announced that it has secured a follow-on order for 25 Fuel Cell Power Modules. These HyPM® 10kW power modules will be incorporated into back-up power products for one of the world's largest suppliers of uninterruptible power. Hydrogenics expects to deliver two units in 2004 and the remainder throughout 2005.
"This ushers in an exciting stage in Hydrogenics' continuing strategy of providing solutions for early-adopting markets like back-up power," said Pierre Rivard, President and CEO of Hydrogenics. "This is Hydrogenics' largest sale of hydrogen power modules to a singular OEM customer, validating the HyPM 10 as a reliable and cost-effective solution for mission critical back-up power. We know that fuel cells provide operational benefits surpassing that of traditional lead acid batteries or diesel generators. Now, with costs coming down so steadily, our fuel cell HyPM is clearly becoming a viable option for those looking for a clean and reliable alternative."
