Fuel cells are opening up emission-free mobility. There is a growing demand for fuel cells, but until now, the production of fuel cell stacks has been considered time-consuming and expensive. We can change that - together. We will combine Optima Packaging Group's technologies and expertise in production systems with our optimal product quality and safety performance, for your fuel cell production.
We make it easier for you to switch from intermittent to continuous processes along the entire value chain. Allowing you to manufacture the key component of the fuel cell faster and more economically – from roll to stack. Whether you intend to start gradually with your fuel cell production or if you are looking for a completely automated solution: We will provide you experienced and solution-oriented support.
We assist you with established machine technologies for a fast, continuous process, based on the roll-to-piece principle, for cutting gas diffusion layers (GDLs).
This means high cutting accuracy and performance, as well as a particle reduced environment. An integrated air filter system keeps particle contamination low. To cut new contours, simply change the cutting sheet.
The catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) is an important component of the MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly). It is a membrane with catalyst coating on both the anode and cathode sides. Optima systems handle your valuable CCM with care when assembling it with subgaskets and gas diffusion layers (GDLs) into the finished MEA. This requires highest precision.
The system assembles the individual MEAs and bipolar plates into fuel cell stacks. This complex automation process builds on decades of experience in stacking of various products.
Our systems will ease the entry into fuel cell manufacturing and mass production because Optima's high-speed stackers deliver a continuous output of several parts per second.
The heart of the fuel cell is the Membrane Electrode Assembly, or MEA for short. Its dimensions correspond to the dimensions of large wound dressings. This is just one of the reasons why Optima’s decades of experience in developing production and packaging equipment for wound dressings is now bearing fruit in fuel cell manufacturing. Technically, both situations are about assembling complex layers of different materials with different physical properties, as well as challenging web tension and cutting behaviors. This comprehensive process knowledge will benefit you as a fuel cell manufacturer.

Unlike manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, German companies could very well become technology leaders in fuel cell development and manufacturing.
Tomorrow's energy supply must be emission-free. Thereby, fuel cells use is increasing. Optima Life Science speeds up this process with manufacturing systems that enable economical fuel cell production in large quantities.
