Majority shareholder

MAN Energy Solutions is acquiring the bulk of the firm’s shares. MAN Energy Solutions already owns 40% of the company. The now-completed acquisition of the shares from the former majority shareholder, GP JOULE, was previously agreed upon. The parties have agreed not to reveal the purchase price. Until today, the now-complete transaction was subject to approval by competition regulators. The purchase of the shares, which will remain in free float, has been agreed upon.

In 2010, GP JOULE, a business located in Schleswig-Holstein that operates in the renewable energy sector, purchased H-TEC SYSTEMS. MAN Energy Solutions and H-TEC SYSTEMS will propel electrolysis industrialization forward. With the acquisition, MAN Energy Solutions completes their offering across the hydrogen value chain and further aligns their business towards a variety of decarbonization solutions.
