VISION & STRATEGY
We believe in the long-term success of the hydrogen fuel cell and are further expanding our international technology leadership in the field of air compressors. With our sustainable and innovative products, we are making an important contribution to climate-neutral and ecological mobility.
For FISCHER Fuel Cell Compressor, the focus is clearly on customer benefits, and thanks to Swiss engineering and sales expertise, we are able to offer customised solutions. Together with our Chinese partner WEICHAI, we are investing in the development of global series production. In doing so, we not only want to invest in all fuel cell markets (transit bus, truck, marine, etc.), but also distribute FISCHER compressors in any quantities and offer them in all countries.
The main location in Switzerland will continue to manage and expand the global R&D centre for the further development of bearing technology and production engineering. With its own production, assembly and distribution, FFCC Switzerland covers all competences. In line with the motto "think global - act local", FFCC will also enable the joint venture in China to develop its local products, strengthen marketing and realise local series production.
