13.04.2023 | Jagenberg Converting Solutions GmbH acquires FMP Technology GmbH
Krefeld. As of April 5, 2023, Jagenberg Converting Solutions GmbH, based in Bocholt, Germany, acquires 100% of the shares in FMP Technology GmbH, based in Erlangen, Germany.
Jagenberg Converting Solutions GmbH (JCS) is a German machinery company of the Jagenberg Group that supplies turnkey systems for processing of sophisticated web-shaped materials for battery and decorative applications.
FMP Technology GmbH (FMP) specializes in the production of high-precision and customized slot dies for customers in the battery, hydrogen and electronics industries. In this context, FMP has in-depth expertise in the design of slot dies, diffusion-optimized dryers and simulations of these processes. In process engineering, FMP complements the competencies of JCS in the design of equipment for electrode production. In the future, FMP’s portfolio of innovative slot dies will be even more closely coordinated with JCS’s range of equipment, thus offering our customers an additional integrated solution.
In cooperation with renowned German universities and institutions, FMP is conducting research on numerous projects with the aim of improving the efficiency of roll-to-roll production as well as the quality of battery electrode and fuel cell production. This knowledge, coupled with specific short-cycle development projects, is another component in JCS’s strategic orientation to continue to be a strong development partner with innovative turnkey solutions for its customers. Battery production is subject to continuous development cycles to increase the efficiency and quality of both the production process and the product. The acquisition of FMP enables an even closer integration of the two companies and offers our customers the advantage of direct access to the latest research results and short realization times for innovations ready for series production.

16.12.2021 | Hydrogen Technologies with FMP Technology
Project for a complete FMP coating & drying plant
Thanks to our outstanding process knowledge and proven key technologies in the field of coating and drying, we were able to win the order to realise a complete roll-to-roll plant for the production of the anode and cathode coating on the membrane foil for fuel cells & electrolyzers. The pilot plant with a web width of 520 mm has everything the heart desires and opens up the possibility for the future plant operator to advance hydrogen technology in the areas of fuel cell and water electrolysis towards the mass market and to take on a leading role.
The core components in the area of coating and drying are our precise FMP slot die and our proven and patented FMP LamiFlow dryer nozzle. This guarantees flawless and highly accurate coating followed by absolutely uniform, fast and excellent drying. Furthermore, the plant has additional protective film winders, a web marking system for traceability and extensive inspection systems, such as an in-line X-ray fluorescence measuring device for catalyst detection and a high-resolution camera system with automatic image analysis for process monitoring.
Commissioning of the system is planned for mid-2022 in the R&D department of a leading global supplier to the automotive and mechanical engineering industries.
18.11.2021 | Battery Production with FMP & VDMA
VDMA Kick-Off Event “Produce Future Batteries – Transform4Production”.
The technology roadmap “VDMA Battery Production Equipment 2030” provided the basis, now the cooperation will be strengthened and the work on future technologies intensified. From 24 – 25 November 2021, leading research institutes and industrial companies will meet in Oberursel on the topic of battery production. In addition to the product, from cell construction to individual battery modules and entire battery packs, the entire production process chain will also be discussed and analysed. FMP Technology will participate as a VDMA member and is looking forward to interesting discussions.
