FuelCell Energy, a manufacturer of high efficiency, ultra-clean power plants, has appointed Christof Branconi, executive vice president and COO of Tognum's onsite energy systems & components division, to its board of directors.
Mr Branconi joins FuelCell Energy's board as Michael Bode, CEO of CFC Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tognum Group, retires from the board after 14 years of service.
Prior to Tognum, Mr Branconi was the chief operating officer for Lurgi, Germany-based company specializing in chemical plant engineering, including renewables, synthesis gas, hydrogen, carbon monoxide as well as sulfur recovery.
Daniel Brdar, chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy, said: "We welcome Mr Branconi to our board of directors and look forward to working with him. His depth of experience successfully managing heavy equipment businesses worldwide will be very helpful to us as we continue to expand our business domestically as well as abroad."
