Impact Coatings AB (publ) has completed the delivery of a newly developed coating process and production solution with improved cost efficiency to Shandong Boyuan New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Boyuan”), in accordance with a Letter of Intent between the companies dated June 22, 2024. The enhanced coating solution has now been fully integrated into Boyuan’s two existing INLINECOATER™ PVD systems at the company’s production facility in China – production lines delivered by Impact Coatings in 2022 and 2024, respectively. Boyuan is a leading specialist in forming technology for metal fuel cell bipolar plates.

According to the Letter of Intent, which was described in a press release on the day of signing, Impact Coatings was appointed a strategic supplier of PVD coating equipment to Boyuan. At the same time, Impact Coatings committed to the continued development of coating materials, equipment, and processes for metal bipolar plates for fuel cells. The delivery that has now been completed is in line with this Letter of Intent.

“For us, it is natural to continuously develop our offering to support our partners and customers so they can remain competitive in the market. The market for hydrogen and fuel cells in mobility applications is still in early phase and dependent on governmental support. China continues to invest in this area and is actively creating a market. According to a recently released new roadmap for fuel cell electrical vehicles in China, the volumes are expected to grow in coming years, primarily for commercial vehicles. By reducing costs and increasing productivity, we help our customers and partners remain competitive in the long term, even in a market that must ultimately operate entirely on commercial terms,” said Jonas Nilsson, CEO at Impact Coatings.

AGENDA (approximate times):

9:00 Welcome!

9:05 Introduction to Impact Coatings, business and market update, financials
Jonas Nilsson, CEO

Impact Coatings has proven technology and operations in Europe and China, with strong presence in the fuel cell and electrolysis markets. We are now taking the next step into the energy supply market and SOFC – solid-oxide fuel cells. Although machine sales have been slow during 2025, the services business is increasing, which together with implemented cost savings put us in a good position in our current and new markets.

10:00 China: Continued growth in hydrogen and fuel cell markets – Impact Coatings (China) at full speed
Yaowen Wang, Regional President, China

The Coating Service Center in Shanghai is currently (November 2025) producing 24 hours per day, six days per week, to support the company’s hydrogen fuel cell industry customers. Recent policy signals from the Chinese government and associated industry organizations indicate there will be more work to come.

10:15 North America: Electrolyzers for green hydrogen, ongoing business and future opportunities
Robert Mamazza (PhD), Regional President, North America

The order backlog for Coating Services at end of Q3 was over SEK 10 million, the majority of which is from North America. We will update recent commercial and policy developments for hydrogen in North America, as well as Impact Coatings’ activities. Learn about business opportunities within PEM electrolysis for green hydrogen production, both with current customers and potential volume customers currently in the sampling stage.

10:30 Iridium oxide for cost-efficient PEM electrolyzer manufacturing, advanced multi-layer coatings made possible by the INLINECOATER™
Kristian Hillgren (PhD), CTO

Simplifying the production process, increasing material yield and reducing the cost of PEM electrolyzers is crucial for widespread introduction in hydrogen production. Impact Coatings’ iridium oxide on porous transport layers (PLTs) substantially simplifies the production process and reduces the need to apply excessive amounts of iridium on the electrolyzer membrane. Development of the advanced iridium oxide coating, and production of multilayer coatings for critical components, are made possible using Impact Coatings’ unique INLINECOATER™ PVD systems.

10:45 Invited presentation:
SOFC power generation for the fast-growing AI data center market, with coatings essential for long-term durability
Caroline Hargrove (PhD), CTO at Ceres

Solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are highly efficient stationary fuel cells that run on natural gas, addressing rising off-grid energy needs. Today’s growth of AI data centers has spurred major commercial advances among leading companies in the SOFC market.

Caroline Hargrove joined Ceres in 2021 as Chief Technology Officer, following three years as a Non-Executive Director at Ceres. She started her career as a lecturer in Engineering at the University of Cambridge, followed by various roles in McLaren F1, mainly focused on the development of digitalization and the first F1 simulator. She was previously CTO of Babylon Health, and worked in a range of sectors from motorsport to health, elite sports, manufacturing and energy. Caroline is also a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, was Visiting Professor at Oxford from 2015 to 2018 and holds a PhD in Applied Mechanics.
