Combined expertise for the mobility of today and tomorrow

ZORGE Rubber Solutions is a new member of both the South-West Electric Mobility Cluster as the Fuel Cell BW Cluster, which are coordinated by the state agency e-mobil BW GmbH.

By joining these two leading innovation networks, we are strengthening our commitment to sustainable mobility solutions – and underline our role as a development partner for implementation-oriented R&D in electromobility and hydrogen technology.

Shaping the future – together with strong partners.

Our membership in the clusters is a clear commitment to safe, efficient and sustainable mobility.

Our products are already helping to increase efficiency, safety and sustainability in e-mobility and hydrogen applications – wherever sealing solutions, vibration damping, media resistance and functional integration are required.

As an experienced development partner for technically sophisticated rubber composite parts, we wish to actively contribute our comprehensive materials and manufacturing expertise to the clusters. This is because we create precise and reliable composite solutions that are perfectly suited to sustainable mobility concepts, both technically and economically.

We are convinced that membership in the South-West Electric Mobility Cluster and Fuel Cell BW Clusters will open up new opportunities to contribute our expertise to development processes in a targeted manner – whilst at the same time absorbing valuable, inspiring impulses from the network.

We look forward to working with existing and new partners – and to making progress together in the fields of electromobility and hydrogen technology!

Focus on practical development.

Our strength lies in implementation-oriented R&D support with focus on process engineering.

We see ourselves as a partner who transforms ideas into producible moulded parts and product solutions – from the initial concept to series production. In doing so, we always keep an eye on material and process feasibility and consistently gear our development work towards reliability, cost-effectiveness and quality.

The central question for us is: ‘How can a complex sealing solution for e-mobility and hydrogen applications be realised in a process-reliable, economical and high-quality manner to the satisfaction of our customers?’

Thanks to this practical approach, we create precise, series-ready products and components that reliably meet the high requirements of demanding applications.

Focus on electromobility: For safety and efficiency in battery systems.

We are already an established partner in the e-mobility industry. A rubber composite part from our company is installed in many battery balancing systems in numerous electric and hybrid vehicles.

Our customers benefit from customised sealing solutions for battery modules, innovative material/composite combinations and multifunctional assemblies with integrated sealing, burst protection and pressure equalisation functions.

We also develop and manufacture HNBR/PTFE membrane compounds for safety-related applications in battery pressure management. These components are an integral part of burst valves within the e-platform of a leading car manufacturer and fulfil a safety-critical dual function: they regulate pressure equalisation in the battery housing and at the same time provide reliable protection against moisture ingress.

Our Grivory EPDM burst discs, which are used for pressure relief in complex burst discs, also contribute to battery safety. The components are already in series production at several OEMs and play a decisive role in ensuring controlled and safe pressure reduction in high-voltage storage systems.

Focus on H2 / fuel cells: Process engineering expertise.

Building on our experience in e-mobility, we develop components for fuel cell and hydrogen systems such as seals, membrane supports, valve and control technology components, and structural composite parts for stack and bipolar plates.

Our expertise includes:

  • H₂-specific requirements: media resistance, temperature cycles, permeation protection,
  • Processing of high-performance and special elastomers,
  • 2- and 3-component manufacturing technologies for rubber-metal, rubber-plastic and TPE-metal, including micro-composite parts with the tightest tolerances,
  • 100% inline testing, including plasma coating or laser technology,
  • Quality assurance in accordance with IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

We are also currently working on the process engineering development of graphitic bipolar plates – another step towards sustainable hydrogen technologies. Stay tuned!
