Membrane technology for energy storage solutions Amer-Sil is a very dynamic, mid-size industrial company, based in Luxembourg ... . We are specialised in Membrane Technology, historically for use in batteries. Typically, these membranes are called separators and gauntlets. They fit inside the battery and play a very important role as they directly influence performance and life. The world is our play-garden, with plants in China, India, Bangladesh and Brazil. This gives us direct exposure to new, exciting but difficult applications such as the e-Rickshaw, an electric three-wheeler you find, e.g., in India. As we are a very technical firm, the above points have given us a wealth of insight, on how to help improve our customers’ products & processes (for costs, performance or life) and propose creative solutions. This has become a competitive advantage. Our philosophy is anchored to the so-called lean manufacturing. We try to breathe it daily. Our current ‘belt colour’ is not too shabby but the road is never-ending of course. This includes a strong focus on quality and continuous improvement in everything we do. In India, through our partner Ketex, we also have a strong expertise in woven glass fiber composites with, e.g., applications in the automotive industry and electrical motor insulation. In 2014, Amer-Sil became independent, which has totally invigorated our old bones. Concretely, we greatly expanded our R&D since and engage in long-term R&D, a feat rare for a company our size. The quality of our R&D has been validated by FNR and Marie-Curie grants, and several patents. Recently we have come up with novel products and expanded our portfolio into battery technologies such as alkaline and Redox-Flow batteries. Amer-Sil stands for a cocktail of enthusiasm, novel ideas and ‘nothing is impossible’ attitude. Our products are fascinating, with a big impact in our customer’s products, and our markets cool. Indeed, energy storage is one of humanity’s big challenges. read more
