Proton Power inaugurates new fuel cell stack assembly plant

Fuel cell and electric hybrid system developer Proton Power Systems reported the successful inauguration of its new fuel cell stack assembly plant on Monday.

The AIM-traded firm said the manufacturing machine was delivered to its Munich-based subsidiary Proton Motor Fuel Cell in early summer.

It explained that, with the only stack robot in Bavaria, it would be able to increase production capacity up to at least 5,000 stack units per annum.

With further moderate investment, the robotic unit would be able to produce 30,000 stack units per annum.

“This milestone in the company’s more than 20-year-history is a response to the increasingly heavy demand from industry for hydrogen fuel cells, which is clearly reflected in Proton’s current cooperation agreements and strategic partnerships,” the board said in its statement.

Proton Power said the innovative stacking installation set a “significant signal” for the company’s “enhanced, forward-looking technology standard” in terms of climate-neutral power drive and energy solutions for mobile and stationary sectors.
