Compressed Natural Gas Refueling Stations

SAFE

Landi Renzo S.p.A., through its new company SAFE S.p.A., has announced their entrance into the CNG compressor and fill station component market, under the SAFE brand.

As the world leader in alternative fuel systems, Landi Renzo believes the new business relationship with SAFE, a distinguished leader and developer of innovative products for CNG fill stations since 1975, is a natural fit for both companies.

SAFE has been operating for more than 35 years in the production of compressors for gas processing in a variety of applications. Its core business is within CNG (natural gas refueling stations for vehicles), Oil and Gas (compressors and auxiliary systems for the processing of gas, from extraction to distribution), plants for biomethane, hydrogen and Liquefied Natural Gas processing.

“Landi Renzo USA will take full advantage of this business venture and focus on marketing these new products throughout North America” said Landi Renzo USA President Andrea Landi.

The transaction is part of the Landi Renzo’s strategy which considers the expansion of its current NGV product portfolio and the expertise in the production of CNG stations as a competitive advantage in the alternative fuels market. Landi Renzo also believes that, in terms of an industrial integration strategy, refueling stations have a significant role in the adoption of natural gas vehicles.
