LONDON, Sept. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AFC Energy, a leading provider of hydrogen energy solutions, today announces that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Saudi Arabia's The Machinery Group LLC, trading as TAMGO, to market and sell AFC Energy's zero emission hydrogen fuelled H-Power Generators into the significant Saudi Arabian industrial and off-grid power markets, and a further 16 surrounding countries.
