TSG announces a strategic partnership with McPhy for the maintenance of their hydrogen stations.
- TSG is accelerating its development in the new mobility energies in partnership with McPhy, leader of the manufacture and installation of zero-carbon hydrogen production equipment.
- With its unrivalled network of 2500 technicians based in all European countries TSG will participate to the deployment of hydrogen as one of the new mobility energies.
- This solid alliance will help TSG and McPhy to win new tenders.
Le Plessis Robinson – TSG, the European leader of solutions and services to public and private energy distribution infrastructures for mobility is pleased to announce the signature of an alliance with McPhy in order to maintain its hydrogen stations and jointly respond to some calls for tender. By joining forces both companies are attending to strengthen their strong European development in clean mobility. This strategic partnership recognizes TSG expertise in new mobility energy solutions (electricity, natural gas, hydrogen, and biofuels) and marks a milestone in the implementation of its pivoting strategy towards sustainable mobility.
Jean-Marc Bianchi, Chairman and CEO of the TSG Group, comments: “Becoming a privileged partner of McPhy is an important step in the rapid deployment of our strategy and ambition to become the reference player in services and solutions related to new mobility energies. We will accelerate our involvement in hydrogen and participate in its development for clean mobility. This alliance with McPhy recognises the expertise of our teams, based in all European countries and in Africa, in the gas business (CNG/LNG, LPG and Hydrogen). Thanks to the pooling of our skills we will strengthen our expertise in hydrogen. By developing strategic agreements with key players such as McPhy, TSG is building the foundations for its strong development in green energy for mobility.”
Laurent Carme, CEO of McPhy, states : “This strategic agreement signed with TSG allows us to go further in structuring our service offer for hydrogen stations. Our “Service” team, formed by experts in hydrogen technologies, will be able to rely on a partner of TSG’s stature, whose network extends throughout Europe. This cooperation will allow us to reinforce the reactivity and competitiveness of our hydrogen station maintenance services, while respecting the highest standards for our clients.”
Marco Luccioli, Customer Service Officer, adds: “Our “Service” team continues to be the reference for our customers, not only for technical questions, but also for the evolutions and updates of our technologies. In the age of digitalization, our experts are also fully engaged in the development of our remote monitoring and diagnostics offering. By strengthening our range of services, in particular with the partnership concluded with TSG, McPhy is developing a solid maintenance network, trained in hydrogen technologies and dedicated to Customer satisfaction. “
Strengthen the Service offer alongside industrial development
The agreement signed with TSG will allow McPhy to offer first class 24/7 maintenance for its hydrogen stations, drawing on a recognized expertise in both renewable energy distribution and traditional energy stations. This cooperation supports the Service offer for the industrial scale-up of McPhy stations projects. Already materialized by 35 stations[1] installed or being installed, this industrial scale-up will accelerate with the development of an ever-growing portfolio of project opportunities.
This continuous growth in the number of projects is coupled with increasingly high requirements in terms of availability and response times. To address this demand, TSG will support McPhy to offer a high level of services, provided by TSG’s network of employees with a very tight territorial coverage in Europe. McPhy’s Service teams will be able to refocus on projects under development, training, preventive maintenance and the development of a predictive maintenance offer, based on the collection and analysis of large volumes of data (“data analysis”) ; while TSG’s teams, already present in hydrogen, will further strengthen their organization in this sector of the future.
A consolidated commercial position
The agreement also includes participation in joint tenders without imposing an exclusive relationship between the two partners, who will remain free to develop collaborations with third parties in the hydrogen station segment. This alliance reinforces both TSG and McPhy’s positions in mobility solutions through an efficient follow-up capacity for clients. The two Groups are currently working on several tenders and have already identified new project opportunities.
