Set to be installed at F.C.C.’s premises in Hamamatsu, Japan, the Cell Impact Forming™ production line is hoped to demonstrate Cell Impact’s scalable, green, and cost-efficient flow plat forming and production technology to existing and prospective customers.

The Swedish-based flow plate manufacturer’s technology has been hailed for its ability to mass-produce metal flow plates, as well as custom flow plates.

The Cell Impact Forming production line is expected to be put into operation ahead of the winter this year (2022).

Yoshifumi Fuchigami, Operating Officer at F.C.C., said, “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.”

Shigeru Nakagawa, Managing Director of Cell Impact Japan, added, “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.”

“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,” commented Pär Teike, CEO of Cell Impact.
