Pilot-scale toll manufacturing

Your dedicated partner for scaling custom catalysts and electrochemical materials, bridging the critical gap from pilot batches to commercial production.

Agile manufacturing for catalysts and electrochemical components

Our pilot-scale manufacturing service bridges the gap between lab-scale success and commercial production. We provide agile catalyst and electrochemical toll manufacturing with rigorous quality control, process documentation, and the batch consistency you need to advance commercialization.

Catalyst Toll Manufacturing

Custom powder synthesis (50 – 250 kg batches)

Advanced catalyst forming (extrusion, tableting, granulation)

Structured washcoating (monoliths, foams, plates)

Process optimization and scale-up

Electrochemical Toll Manufacturing

Custom powder, slurry, and ink production

Advanced electrode fabrication (tape casting, ultrasonic spray, screen printing)

Specialized high-temperature processing (sintering, calcination)

Component integration and assembly support

Specialized infrastructure.
Flexible facilities.

Our 56,000 sq. ft. facility is purpose-built for agility and technical depth. Unlike high-volume contract tollers, we provide flexible equipment, hands-on process engineering, and rigorous quality control to scale both catalyst and electrochemical technologies, functioning as an extension of your technical team.

  • Synthesis Methods: Flexible capabilities including co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and solid-state processing.
  • Process Capabilities: High-shear mixing, milling, custom ink formulation, impregnation, and ion exchange.
  • Treatment Facilities: Specialized facilities for drying, calcination, and controlled atmosphere reduction.
  • Forming & Fabrication: Versatile equipment for extrusion, tableting, high-intensity granulation, tape casting, lamination, laser cutting, and precision welding.
  • Coating & Printing: Advanced lines for wash coating, spin coating, screen printing, and ultrasonic/aerosol spray processes.
  • Assembly & Expertise: Processing powders, granules, extrudates, tablets, laminate structures, assembly of SOFC/SOEC stacks, MEAs, and high-temperature component sealing.
  • Physical & Thermal Analysis: Surface area (BET), porosimetry, particle sizing, TGA/DTA, and Dilatometry
  • Chemical & Phase Analysis: XRD, SEM/EDS, and XRF for phase and elemental identification.
  • Performance & Diagnostic Testing: Chemisorption (TPD, TPR, TPO), electrochemical testing (CV, EIS), and high-temperature stack test stands.
