Fuel Cell Corp. (OTCBB:PFCE) is pleased to announce that production of
bipolar plates has begun in its Willoughby, Ohio manufacturing plant.
We are now producing detailed plates
for several leading companies in the fuel cell industry. Dan McCluskey,
Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Business Development, said, "We
are very pleased with the progress we have made to this point. We are working
very closely with our customers and we are building very strong relationships.
The last 2 months have been extremely busy and rewarding. We have achieved
our targeted March 1st date for the production of the blank plates and
we have successfully transitioned manufacturing equipment to our new Ohio
facility. We believe that we are poised to meet our business forecast,
which will lead to a very busy and successful year. Pacific Fuel Cell believes
that we are the premier company currently manufacturing fuel cell components
in terms of price, quality, capability and complete customer service."
The engine of the fuel cell system
is called a fuel cell stack. The stack consists of several layers of MEA's
(membrane electrode assemblies), GDL's (gas diffusion layers) and bipolar
plates. The number of layers depends on the power requirement for the fuel
cell. The quality and cost of these components are very critical for the
entire industry.
Pacific Fuel Cell Corp. is a nanotechnology
company committed to producing fuel cell components with reduced cost and
higher performance in the portable, stationary and micro fuel cell market,
utilizing nanotechnology.
