Hystar AS, a Norwegian company specializing in electrolyser technologies, has awarded thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering a crucial contract for the design of its new automated production line.
The line, located in Høvik, will increase Hystar’s production capacity from 100 MW to 4.5 GW.
This increase is made possible by the integration of advanced automation technologies, which will streamline manufacturing while improving productivity.
The collaboration between Hystar and thyssenkrupp has a clear objective: to reduce production costs, increase operational efficiency and guarantee the consistent quality of the electrolyzers produced.
The plant will cover an area of 2,500 m², with integrated processes for cell assembly, quality control and testing.
Drawing on an established supply chain, Hystar will be able to rapidly increase production capacity to meet market needs.

Strengthening competitiveness in the hydrogen sector

The award of this contract to thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering is part of a strategy to position Hystar as a key player in the hydrogen sector. The aim of the automated line project is not only to increase production capacity, but also to boost the company’s competitiveness by optimizing its manufacturing processes.
For thyssenkrupp, this partnership offers the opportunity to demonstrate its expertise in industrial automation, by setting up a production infrastructure that meets the highest standards in the sector.
This cooperation is in line with Hystar’s strategy of scaling up its industrial capabilities, with a clear vision: to establish itself as a leader in the supply of technological solutions for hydrogen production.
Increased production efficiency will enable Hystar to respond more quickly to orders while maintaining competitive production costs.
This is a significant advantage in a market where demand for hydrogen continues to grow, particularly for large-scale industrial applications.
