SFC Energy: PBF receives major order for PBF’s High Power Standard Platform solutions in semiconductor manufacturing equipment

• Order entails the development of two semi-standard PBF High Power Platform solutions.
• Order amount in the mid-six-digit Euro range.
• Expected annual order amount starting 2020: up to EUR 4.5 million in 2023.
• Development of the new power supply builds on PBF’s successful High Power Standard Platform.

PBF Group B.V., Dutch subsidiary of SFC Energy AG, a leading provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power generation markets, announces the receipt of a new order for high performance power supplies. A major industrial customer has ordered the development of specific 2.5 kW and 3.8 kW power solutions for an application in high-tech semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The development order volume is in the mid-six-digit Euro range. Starting 2020, the Company expects annual follow-up product sales revenues up to EUR 4.5 million in 2023.

PBF’s High Power Standard Platform solutions deliver highly precise and dynamic power to high-tech semiconductor manufacturing equipment, e.g. the production of modern touchscreens, sensor storage chips, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and in data storage systems on big server farms.

PBF supports these applications with high performance power supply technology, connected in parallel and scaled up to 60 kW electrical power, for seamless integration into the customer’s existing water-cooling system. At the same time, the power supplies are already designed to be upward-compatible in order to also operate with future, more powerful applications.

PBF uses the unique, successful PBF High Power Platform technology to develop semi-standardized power supply systems to meet even the most demanding high-tech application requirements.

“Our successful PBF Platform technology is incredibly fast and produces highly efficient and cost attractive solutions, especially for the complex power requirements in semi-conductor manufacturing equipment technology”, says Hans Pol, CSO of SFC Energy. “These new systems expand our successful power supply expertise further into high-tech applications. Market developments like the Internet of Things, data intensive 3D-technologies and ultramodern plasma displays require ultimate power precision. Our platform enables optimum power solutions for these emerging markets. We see a growing market potential for power supplies from our PBF Platform in the coming years.”
