German Fuel Cell Cooperation at Hydrogen + Fuel Cells Europe 2022 in Hanover

At Hy­dro­gen + Fuel Cells Eu­rope 2022 in Hanover – Eu­rope’s largest ex­hi­bi­tion for hy­dro­gen and fu­els – the Ger­man Fuel Cell Co­op­er­a­tion will ex­hibit from 30 May to 2 June 2022 at booth D63 in hall 13 to pre­sent their lat­est so­lu­tions for the hy­dro­gen in­dus­try.

The German Fuel Cell Cooperation (GFC) is made up of the three mid­sized high-tech com­pa­nies VON AR­DENNE (Dres­den), Weil Tech­nol­ogy (Müll­heim) and ZELT­WANGER (Tübin­gen). The three equip­ment providers com­bine their re­spec­tive ex­per­tise along the en­tire process chain to sup­port the pro­duc­tion of fuel cell sys­tems and elec­trolyz­ers.

At Hy­dro­gen + Fuel Cells Eu­rope 2022 in Hanover, they are pre­sent­ing their co­or­di­nated so­lu­tions for an ef­fi­cient pro­duc­tion for the first time to a broader au­di­ence. Now, the lead­ing com­pa­nies in the hy­dro­gen and fuel cell in­dus­try can rely on the bun­dled ex­per­tise of three flex­i­ble and re­li­able sys­tem man­u­fac­tur­ers. And this is ideal for quickly and ef­fi­ciently re­duc­ing the de­pen­dence on fos­sil fu­els, such as coal, oil and gas.

The three part­ners bring decades of ex­pe­ri­ence from their core busi­ness into the co­op­er­a­tion and com­bine this to form one seam­less process:

VON AR­DENNE pro­vides its ex­per­tise in the de­vel­op­ment and pro­duc­tion of vac­uum coat­ing sys­tems, which are used to func­tion­al­ize the sur­faces of metal strips (pre-coat­ing) or bipo­lar plates (post-coat­ing). Weil Tech­nol­ogy is avail­able as an ex­pe­ri­enced part­ner with its knowl­edge in the field of laser cut­ting and laser weld­ing of metal bipo­lar plates. ZELT­WANGER’s ex­per­tise in au­to­mated as­sem­bly and test­ing processes, leak test­ing and laser ap­pli­ca­tions is es­sen­tial at var­i­ous points along the pro­duc­tion chain.

Thanks to these com­pe­tences and com­pre­hen­sive knowl­edge of the com­plex value added chain, the GFC de­vel­ops a suit­able pro­duc­tion so­lu­tion to­gether with its cus­tomers. This re­sults in cus­tom con­cepts that sup­port a va­ri­ety of dif­fer­ent ap­proaches and ful­fill the re­quired spec­i­fi­ca­tions.
