Business Objective
AMPAC Fine Chemicals (AFC), a subsidiary of SK Pharmteco, is a US-based manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, known for its innovative solutions and high-quality products. It provides fully cGMP-compliant manufacturing from laboratory to commercial scale. AFC's headquarters in Rancho Cordova, California employs 531 people with a parking capacity for roughly 360 cars.
AFC was looking for a long-term EV charging partner that shared their vision of sustainability and could help them scale without a costly electrical infrastructure upgrade. AFC was acquired by SK Group in 2019 and began working with EverCharge shortly after its acquisition by SK in March 2023. Both companies are part of SK’s multi-billion dollar investments in climate and pharma tech in the US, and align with SK’s commitment to fostering sustainable manufacturing and business practices for a healthier planet.
Solution
EverCharge deployed a comprehensive charging solution that included the installation of 13 strategically placed Level 2 (L2) charging stations across AFC’s headquarters. The implementation was designed with future expansion in mind, allowing for easy and efficient scalability.
By monitoring energy usage in real time and using EverCharge’s SmartPower technology to intelligently balance the charging load across all charging stations based on the unique needs of each vehicle, this solution helps minimize the risk of electrical overload and optimize overall energy consumption.
Furthermore, the EverCharge system provides user-friendly access control and a cardless option that allows employees to plug in and draw power, free of charge.
Outcome
The collaboration between AFC and EverCharge resulted in a positive charging experience and reduced wait times for AFC employees and visitors, and helped promote optimal energy consumption and efficient charging. What’s more, this initiative has enabled AFC’s People team to add a sought-after employee benefit to its overall benefits program, contributing to employee satisfaction.
