[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n1 April 2025\n \nJames Cropper plc\n(\"James Cropper\", the \"Company\" or the \"Group\")\n\nReady2Stack™ Solution for Hydrogen Production\nStrategic Collaboration with HOERBIGER\nJames Cropper (AIM: CRPR), the Advanced Materials and Paper & Packaging group, announces that it has entered a strategic collaboration with global industrial technology leader HOERBIGER, to deliver Ready2Stack™; a fully integrated bipolar plate (BPP) solution for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers used in the production of hydrogen.\nThe solution addresses key barriers to the scale-up of hydrogen production by consolidating all design and manufacturing processes in the production of BPPs - a critical component within PEM electrolysers - into a single point of supply. This reduces complexity, improves quality, and reduces the overall cost of hydrogen production.\nCombining James Cropper's advanced electrochemistry and coating expertise and HOERBIGER's industrial-scale manufacturing, metal forming and automation capabilities, Ready2Stack™ delivers reduced production downtime and enhances long-term reliability, making green hydrogen more accessible and commercially viable. It offers a differentiated solution for OEMs seeking to simplify supply chains, optimise their offering, and accelerate green hydrogen ambitions.\nFor more information, please visit: www.ready2stack.com.\n \nDavid Stirling, Chief Executive Officer at James Cropper, commented:\n \n\"We are delighted to partner with HOERBIGER in this strategic collaboration, which brings together complementary expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a shared vision for a sustainable future. Ready2Stack™ could be pivotal in the race to net zero, addressing key challenges in the hydrogen industry and the broader energy transition.\n \n\"By combining advanced metallurgy, electrochemistry, and precision engineering, we are driving efficiency, reducing costs, and enabling the rapid scaling of PEM electrolyser production accelerating the shift to a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape.\"\n \nEnquiries\n \n\n\n\n\nJames Cropper plc\nDavid Stirling, Chief Executive Officer\nAndrew Goody, Chief Financial and Operations Officer\n \n\n\nTel: +44(0)1539 722002\n \n\n\n\n\nShore Capital - Nominated Adviser and Broker\nDaniel Bush, David Coaten...
