SFC Energy continues its growth in the industry

Founded in Singapore, Oneberry provides fully automated, mobile and manless surveillance systems under long-term service contracts with public and private-sector clients. Its scalable ‘Security-as-a-Service’ model ensures solid revenue visibility and a robust project pipeline. Oneberry’s EBITDA margin, which is above that of the SFC Group, is expected to contribute to sustainable margin expansion over time.

This strategic investment strengthens SFC’s regional presence in Asia and builds on a trusted 15-year partnership between the two companies. The collaboration unites SFC’s reliable, sustainable and commercially proven fuel cell technology with Oneberry’s expertise in intelligent automation and AI, enabling integrated, off-grid surveillance and monitoring solutions with low to zero emissions through the use of SFC products.

Singapore will continue to serve as the regional headquarters and operational hub, supporting the joint expansion of ‘Security-as-a-Service’ solutions across Southeast Asia. The long-term plan is to roll out Oneberry’s specific business model, supported by SFC’s own power supply solutions (Energy-as-a-Service) to Asia and other regions, including North America and Europe.

The investment is fully aligned with SFC’s three-pillar growth strategy, combining international expansion with technology integration through complementary M&A to accelerate market access and drive sustainable growth. Given the current market dynamics, the parties to the agreement believe that substantial growth in sales revenue from around €25 million to more than €100 million is possible in the medium to long-term.

The Management Board of SFC expects the transaction to make a positive contribution to earnings and strengthen the long-term growth and margin profile once it has been completed.

The transaction is subject to closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the 4Q25.

Dr Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG, said: “Together, Oneberry and SFC make the world safer and more sustainable. This transaction marks an important milestone in SFC’s global expansion strategy, especially in Asia. German and Singaporean technology leaders are combining their complementary strengths in reliable and sustainable off-grid energy and AI-based public security solutions. Oneberry’s strong technology base, profitable business model, and long-term customer relationships create a strong platform for further integrating our fuel cell solutions into the fast-growing public security, critical infrastructure and border protection as well as drone defence market. Our investment supports SFC’s long-term goal of scaling our fuel cell technology across fast-growing markets, while further enhancing our profitability and revenue base.”

Ken Pereira, CEO and Founder of Oneberry Technologies Pte. Ltd, added: “After more than 15 years of successful cooperation, SFC’s entry as an important shareholder takes our partnership to a new level. By integrating SFC’s advanced fuel cell technology, we can further enhance the reliability and sustainability of our autonomous public security, border protection and defense systems. Together, we are well-positioned to expand our ‘Security-as-a-Service’ model for public and private companies both regionally and globally, while contributing to Singapore’s and the wider region’s sustainability goals.”
