LATHAM, N.Y., March 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. PLUG, a leader in providing energy solutions that change the way the world moves, announced that Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global food supply chain, named Philippe Boisvert to its 2019 Food Logistics Champions: Rock Stars of the Supply Chain award.

Plug Power develops and manufactures hydrogen and fuel cell (HFC) technology, a zero-emission fuel, for global industrial e-mobility applications. With this drop-in replacement for batteries for fleet vehicle applications, customers are improving efficiency, while reducing the company's carbon footprint significantly. HFC-powered trucks allow Plug Power's global customers base, including Walmart, Amazon, Carrefour, and FedEx to maximize efficiency, streamline operations, and improve fleet uptime for electric forklifts, pallet jacks, AGVs, and delivery vans.

As director of field application engineering, Philippe Boisvert assists in leading Plug Power in its development, manufacturing, and deployment of high quality, cost-effective, and reliable hydrogen fueling systems. Mr. Boisvert's expertise has influenced the hydrogen fueling products Plug Power offers to customers – including engineering solutions for large scale liquid hydrogen, small scale reformation or delivered gas, which enable food logistic companies of multiple sizes to adopt fuel cell forklifts. Boisvert has a deep understanding of the logistical challenges and opportunities that warehousing fleet vehicles face, helping to increase operational efficiency and corporate sustainability for several leading food logistics companies in the U.S. and Europe.

"With a clear vision to the creation of a clean and sustainable future, Plug Power is thriving. We owe that success to our employees who work hard every day challenging the status quo in order to build cutting edge technology and provide the best service to our valuable customers," said Andy Marsh, CEO, Plug Power. "Identifying and bringing in talented people like Philippe Boisvert and the hundreds of other individuals who work for us, and are excited about the future of hydrogen has always been a top priority for us. And it's a special moment for all of us at Plug Power when we're able to stop and recognize those individuals for their dedication."

Mr. Boisvert comments, "Building an industry from scratch is no small feat. Once facilities switch to fuel cell technology, it's our job to strive toward continuously improving performance and reducing costs to help our customers meet their own ever-changing efficiency and sustainability goals."

The Food Logistics Rockstar of Supply Chain award launched in 2015 and each year an individual from Plug Power has been named to the list for their efforts in driving innovation within the industry. Past Plug Power recipients include Andy Marsh, CEO; Tim Cortes, VP of Hydrogen Energy Systems; Dustan Skidmore, VP of Engineering; and Jose Luis Crespo, VP of Global Sales.

From early pioneers and entrepreneurs to non-conformist thinkers and executive standouts, this award aims to honor these leaders and their contributions to our industry.

"Our 2019 Food Logistics Champions: Rock Stars of the Supply Chain reflects the expanding diversity that is emerging in our industry, both in terms of demographics and talent," remarks Lara L. Sowinski. "The combination of experience and wisdom complemented with a new generation of professionals is resulting in a food and beverage supply chain that is in sync with consumers' demands while simultaneously adept and staying ahead of the logistical requirements."
