Eisenhuth GmbH & Co KG is a German manufacturing company founded in 1945 that focuses on component manufacturing for fuel cells and electrolysers, as well as the manufacturing of rubber and silicon parts.[1][2][3][4]

History

Eisenhuth GmbH was established in 1945 by Wilhelm Eisenhuth and his son Herbert Eisenhuth in Osterode, Germany.[5] In 1947, the company started manufacturing molds for plastic and rubber components.[6]

In 1961, Herbert Eisenhuth's wife, Elisabeth Hickmann led the company. In 1997, Dr. Thorsten Hickmann, stepson of Elisabeth Hickmann, assumed the role of CEO.[7] The company expanded its manufacturing capabilities to plastic, rubber, and silicone parts.[8]

In 2006, it received Cooperation Award of the State of Lower Saxony.[9]

In 2007 Eisenhuth GmbH acquired the Fuel Cell Plate activities of SGL Carbon.[10][11][12] In 2010, the company started production of graphitic bipolar plates for Redox Flow batteries using injection molding techniques.[13][14]

Eisenhuth GmbH expanded its focus to encompass electrolyzer components in 2015. Since 2021 the company has been producing stacks.[15]

In 2019, the company received Innovation Award of the District of Göttingen and became co-winner (under the auspices of CUTEC) of the German Sustainability Award 2018 and winner (together with University of Halle) of the IQ-Innovation-award.[15]
