Haskel Hydrogen Systems Group has made a number of key appointments, which it says will maximise the current growth opportunities in the hydrogen sector and satisfy increasing global demand for its range of refuelling systems.

David Muckle has been appointed general manager of Haskel Hydrogen Systems, Jake Martin has joined as business development manager for the EMEA and India regions and Stewart Anderson becomes business development manager for the APAC region.

“The rapidly evolving market for hydrogen energy is predicted to be a multi-billion dollar one within this decade,” commented Nick-Kendall Jones, SVP of Ingersoll Rand’s Precision Science and Technologies segment, of which Haskel is a part.

“To respond to this, we are significantly strengthening our hydrogen team, with seasoned leadership capable of maximising our growth potential.”

Muckle takes over his role from Stephen Learney, who has retired from his work within the Haskel Hydrogen Systems team. He is responsible for scaling up Haskel’s production capabilities and accelerating R&D innovations. He has held a number of senior manufacturing and commercial management positions, and was global high pressure general manager, focusing on hydrogen for industry. He will now support Haskel’s development of next-generation refuelling stations in his role as general manager.

Martin joins Haskel from Chesterfield Special Cylinders, where he spearheaded its hydrogen growth strategy and secured a five-year framework agreement with Shell Hydrogen in Europe. He works with customers in the EMEA and India regions to introduce hydrogen refuelling systems across a range of projects.

Anderson joined Haskel to head up and develop the hydrogen engineering team. He has now completed his emigration to Australia, where he will focus on establishing Haskel as a global market leader in the APAC region.

As the business continues to grow, Haskel intends to further bolster its commercial team in Europe, and globally, to support the hydrogen infrastructure expansion and deliver the high-flow, IoT-enabled hydrogen refuelling stations of the future.

“Haskel aims to establish global strategic relationships with partners in the hydrogen mobility market,” said Martin. “We have developed systems and services to optimise our clients’ capital expenditure and operational expenditure throughout the lifecycle of their assets. Drawing on our 75-year track-record in the hydrogen industry, we deliver some of the most advanced, modular and upgradable hydrogen refuelling systems on the market. These help our customers reduce emissions and minimise total cost of ownership as we continue to standardise our stations to lower costs and increase energy efficiency.”
