cartridges and valves have been able to meet Samsung's initial
requirements. This project involved extremely tight deadlines for several
months, and I'm quite proud of our team for meeting these milestones and
keeping Samsung's development project on schedule. I particularly want to
thank our manufacturing partner, Sato Group of Japan, for their outstanding
work."
"We are looking forward to taking the necessary additional steps with
Samsung in order to bring a methanol fuel cell cartridge to market," added
