Impact Coatings Receives Order from Feintool (China) for INLINECOATER IC2000 for Fuel Cell Coatings
Impact Coatings AB (publ) has received an order for an INLINECOATER™ IC2000 from Feintool Precision System Parts (Taicang), a fully-owned subsidiary of Feintool Group (Switzerland). Feintool Group is a global leader in precision sheet metal technologies of fineblanking, forming, and electro-lamination stamping, as well as high performance fuel cell bipolar plate fineforming. The IC2000 system will be used by the Chinese subsidiary in the manufacturing of fuel cell bipolar plates. The system delivery will take place as soon as practically possible based on IC2000 systems being available with short delivery times. The order value is in the EUR 2-2.5 million range.
“The Chinese fuel cell industry continues to be a growth engine for us. This new order marks the third Chinese fuel cell plate manufacturer to order an IC2000 system during 2024, whereof two have been repeat system orders,” said Jonas Nilsson, CEO at Impact Coatings. “In addition, Impact Coatings has delivered and commissioned an IC2000 system at our Coating Service Center China during the year to support growing demand also from fuel cell customers that prefer to purchase coating services.”
Impact Coatings has substantially reduced delivery times for PVD systems based on the company’s strategy of manufacturing systems to forecast. The strategy enables Impact Coatings to deliver IC2000 systems for fuel cell and electrolyzer applications quickly, thereby contributing to production scale-up in the hydrogen sector in all geographic markets.
