Strengthening our capacity to develop clean energy sources in the future

Since founding the technological research center in 2008, JNTG has directed every effort into R&D with the aim of making rapid entry into market for critical materials and components of fuel cells and localizing the related technology in Korea. Since its foundation, our research center received massive investments to sustain a steady R&D program. The payoff was our company becoming the supplier of the gas diffusion layer, the final 1% that remained in creating a 100% Korean hydroelectric vehicle in 2020.

JNTG completed the installation of the world's first roll-to-roll production facility, allowing us to maintain uniform product quality and set up for mass-production. We also created an evaluation system for the roll production line.

These efforts not only delivered us with the world's finest quality GDLs but also allowed us to fully internalize the whole production process. The fully in-house production allows us to flexibly respond to a wide range of customer requirements. Indeed, our product and its associated technology is acclaimed throughout the world by customers in Korea, China, United States, and Europe.

We believe that the real expansion of the fuel cell market is yet to arrive. When it does, the fuel cell industry will see opportunities not only with regard to hydroelectric cars but also power generation and building systems. We are hopeful that the GDL we have produced with early investment and original technology will become a stepping stone for our push to become a global business as we start seeing the real time of growth in our company's journey.
