Impact Coatings AB (publ) has received an order for an INLINECOATER™ IC2000 from the Chinese customer Shangdong Boyuan New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Boyuan”), a specialist in precise forming technology for fuel cell metal plates. Boyuan ordered and received its first PVD coating system for fuel cell plates from Impact Coatings in 2022. Delivery of the new IC2000 is planned for 2024. The order value is in the EUR 2 million range.
“We are proud to receive this follow-on order. Impact Coatings has supported Boyuan over time with our flexible delivery model, scaling up with the customer’s needs from Coatings Services to Managed Service, running coating production at the customer’s site, to the delivery of complete coating systems capable of volume production of fuel cell plates,“ said Yaowen Wang, Regional President China at Impact Coatings.
The system order follows on a Letter of Intent signed on June 22 and described in a press release the same day, in which Boyuan has selected Impact Coatings as a strategic supplier of PVD coating equipment for the production of fuel cell bipolar and monopolar plates at the company’s production sites in China, Mexico and other regions. The now ordered IC2000 system is to be installed in Boyuan's factory in China.
