Quest One, the result of the transformation of H-TEC SYSTEMS, inaugurates its Gigahub in Hamburg, an automated production facility capable of producing up to 5 GW of stacks per year by 2030.
By 2025, the company is already forecasting a capacity of 1 GW per year.
This facility meets the growing demand for electrolyzers, essential for large-scale hydrogen production.
The financial backing of MAN Energy Solutions, to the tune of 500 million euros, strengthens Quest One ‘s capabilities in this strategic expansion.
Production automation is a key factor in improving efficiency and reducing costs.
This development is essential to meet the demands of the growing global market.
With automation, Quest One can reduce production time by 75%, a crucial competitive advantage.

Strategic expansion and market consolidation

In addition to Germany, Quest One is actively expanding in the USA, aiming to establish local supply chains to strengthen its position in the North American market.
This expansion is an essential component of the company’s global strategy, which aspires to become a world leader in the manufacture of electrolyzers.
Facing Quest One, other players such as Nel Hydrogen in Norway, with a capacity of 2 GW per year, and Thyssenkrupp Nucera in Germany, are also aiming to meet the growing need for electrolyzers.
Competition is intense, but Quest One’s 25 years of electrolysis expertise is a major asset in this technological race.
With 200 employees in Hamburg and more than 350 in Augsburg, Quest One has the infrastructure and human resources needed to bring its ambitious projects to fruition.
