Technology
for a better future.
Product Development
Our product development brings together all steps from concept to market readiness under one roof. Starting with idea generation, feasibility studies, and prototype construction, to industrialization and quality assurance, we cover the entire development process. In close collaboration with research partners and suppliers, we develop solutions that are both innovative and reliable.
Well-connected in Research.
Our research is driven by the continuous search for new materials and technologies that advance the future of fuel cell technology. Through intensive collaboration with renowned research institutions and international partners, we constantly expand our knowledge and develop solutions that meet the highest quality and efficiency standards. At the core of our work is the optimization of thermoplastic applications for a wide range of forward-looking applications.
An outstanding example of our research is KNIPPING NEW MOBILITY, our humidification solution for PEM fuel cells. Through collaboration with Esslingen University of Applied Sciences and other experts in the manufacturing process, we have made targeted progress in quality and performance, taking our humidification technology to a new level. This ensures that our developments not only meet current requirements but also set forward-thinking standards.

Humidification solution for Fuel Cells
Fuel Cell Humidifiers at a glance
The KNIPPING humidifier is a passive component, meaning it does not contribute to the parasitic losses of the fuel cell system. It utilizes the water generated in the fuel cell stack through the electrochemical reaction. This water exits the fuel cell in the form of vapor and/or droplets with the exhaust air. Separated by a polymer membrane, the dry inlet air and the moist exhaust air of the fuel cell are guided past each other in the humidifier. This membrane allows the transfer of water through diffusion but prevents the mixing of the inlet and exhaust air.
The result: A compact, sustainable, and practical solution that reduces overall operating costs in the long term. It offers the following advantages:
