ITM Power, the clean fuel company, has negotiated a distribution agreement with Singapore-based Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, that will see its products marketed in Asia and the US.
This could be a major step for the Sheffield based firm which has been hanging around the AIM market since 2004 but now seems to have achieved lift-off.
The deal means Horizon will market ITM's hydrogen energy systems exclusively amongst the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which includes major markets like Indonesia and the Philippines.
