MEET OUR EXHIBITORS
Now in our 21st year, the Ohio Fuel Symposium attracts nationwide attendees, companies, manufacturers, public and government entities, organizations, research institutions, and technical/community colleges that are doing significant work in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. This year the Symposium will be at Stark State College, Business and Entrepreneurial Center, 6200 Frank Ave. NW, North Canton, OH 44720.
WE WELCOME THE FOLLOWING TO OUR EXHIBIT SHOWCASE:
Godfrey & Wing, a leading global manufacturer of vacuum impregnation technology, will present their latest technology for sealing leak paths in expanded and molded graphite bipolar plates. Their new technology (resin, process, and systems) provide sealed graphite plates without damage, and without the contamination with traditional impregnation processes. And, they do it in minutes, not hours.
Godfrey & Wing’s goals are to improve manufacturing, simplify complex processes, and help their customers improve throughput and profitability. With a proven track record in delivering results for castings used in ICEs, Godfrey & Wing is helping OEMs and manufacturers succeed as they now invest in FCVs and EVs. Established in 1948, they are now the longest-serving and largest vacuum impregnation equipment provider in the world.
