Don, The NiMH plant in Sarnia is in production but not fully ramped up yet. It is designed to produce 2500 tons of Metal Hydride per annum. Check post 2600 for calculations on how many batteries this will produce. The plant is being operated by the H.C. Starke company, which is primarily a German Company. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bayer. Bayer has a metal powders division. which is another large German company. I also heard the name Starke Gosselin when I last talked to someone about the plant. This is the first time that I have heard this name and I have not checked the spelling. There continues to be talk about expanding the plant. I had heard that it was a go as soon as the bugs process engineering was done on this one. The size of the new plant was supposed to be 2500 ton * 1.30.

hcstarck.de Here is a link to the Stark complex. It doesn't say too much about the NiMH powders except that they are used in computers and in camcorders and that they eliminate that annoying memory effect. There is a lovely picture of the Tungsten Carbide plant. The NiMH plant was built just beside it. While searching around the site I also noticed that they were making the specialized multi layered silicon for solar panels...hmmm...now I wonder, shouldn't Starke and ECD get to know each other? Here is the link for the polycrystaline site. also the word is Goslar not Gosselin like I previously posted. bayer.com
