Cell Impact Forming™ demonstration line to be installed in Japan
Cell Impact AB (Nasdaq First North GM: CI) will set up a Cell Impact Forming™ flow plate demonstration line in Japan in collaboration with leading Japanese auto parts supplier F.C.C. Co., Ltd.
For several years, Cell Impact has carried out customer development projects for flow plates in Japan, a significant market for hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysis equipment. The Japanese market is also one of the world's most demanding markets, requiring a long-term perspective and systematic work to be successful. Against this backdrop, Cell Impact Japan Inc. was established in early 2021 to better align with market requirements and strengthen the company's marketing capabilities.
In collaboration with F.C.C., a leading global automotive parts supplier, Cell Impact is pleased to announce that a Cell Impact Forming flow plate forming line will be installed at F.C.C.'s premises in Hamamatsu, Japan.
Over an extended period of time, this initiative will demonstrate Cell Impact's scalable, green and cost-efficient flow plate forming and production technology to existing and prospective customers.
"F.C.C. has found that Cell Impact Forming is a unique and cost-efficient way of producing flow plates. This is why we're so pleased to have created a joint team with Cell Impact to run production demonstration activities here in Japan so the fuel cell industry can learn more about this promising technology," says Yoshifumi Fuchigami, Operating Officer at F.C.C.
"We are delighted to have established a relationship with F.C.C., a truly professional company with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and industry know-how, and to have the opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of Cell Impact's forming technology with them in Japan," says Shigeru Nakagawa, Managing Director of Cell Impact Japan Inc.
"F.C.C. has a keen interest in this industry and with their assistance, I am sure we will achieve the targeted results of the demonstration," Pär Teike, CEO of Cell Impact, concludes.
The Cell Impact Forming line at F.C.C. is expected to be put into operation this fall.
