Feintool secures high-volume order to produce bipolar plates for
hydrogen drives in China
In cooperation with technology partner SITEC, Feintool
was awarded a long-term contract in China related to hydrogen
mobility. High-volume production of ready-to-install metallic
bipolar plates for a leading Chinese manufacturer of fuel cells is
expected to start in 2025.
The bipolar plates ordered will be produced at Feintool's
specialized site in Taicang (China) and mainly installed in
commercial vehicles, buses and cars. In addition to the core
technologies FEINforming, Feintool's patented process for
high-precision metal processing, and FLEXwelding, automated laser
welding developed by SITEC, our fully integrated coating and
sealing processes are applied to this order. This allows the
production of ready-to-install components for the customer. The
order in China is further proof of the trust that customers
operating in the hydrogen sector place in Feintool and SITEC.
Bipolar plates form the core of fuel cells
Fuel cells are electrochemical energy converters that generate
electricity from hydrogen and oxygen. They emit only water vapor.
This is how fuel cells power electric vehicles, emergency
generators and even spacecraft. They offer a clean alternative to
fossil fuels and thus contribute to a greener future.
Our metallic bipolar plates constitute the core of fuel cells.
These high-precision components enable efficient gas flow, cooling
and electrical connection. Several hundred bipolar plates are
stacked to form the fuel cell stack.
Feintool's strategic goal is to become one of the world's
leading suppliers of metallic bipolar plates and interconnects for
fuel cells and electrolyzers. As a technology group and producer of
high-precision metal components in large series, we are actively
shaping the future of green energy generation, storage and use.
