MAXIMATOR The Technological Heart of Hydrogen Infrastructure for Industry and Mobility
The transformation of the energy and transport sectors towards zero-emission technologies requires not only innovative solutions, but also reliable partners capable of covering the entire hydrogen value chain. This is where Maximator comes in. With decades of experience in high-pressure technologies, the company is one of Europe’s key suppliers of systems for hydrogen production, compression, storage, transport and refuelling.
Comprehensive Solutions from Production to Refuelling
Together, FEST Group, Maximator GmbH and Maximator Hydrogen cover the entire hydrogen technology value chain. FEST develops and supplies modern PEM electrolysers for the decentralised production of green hydrogen, Maximator provides advanced high-pressure technologies for compression and handling, and Maximator Hydrogen delivers complete hydrogen refuelling stations for road, rail and maritime transport. Customers therefore benefit from a complete solution covering everything from production and storage to refuelling, all from a single partner.
Technologies Ready for the Future
Compressor technologies are a key component of hydrogen infrastructure. Maximator has developed the modular HULC, X-TOWER and MAX Compression compressor systems, enabling safe and energy-efficient hydrogen compression at pressures of up to 1,050 bar. Thanks to their modular design, system capacity can be adapted to the specific requirements of each project, from pilot installations to large-scale industrial applications.
Key advantages include high operational availability, an intelligent service concept and the ability to integrate the technology into existing systems, helping to accelerate the development of the hydrogen economy while reducing operating costs.
A Partner for Hydrogen Mobility
Hydrogen mobility today encompasses far more than passenger cars. It is increasingly being used in bus transport, heavy-duty road transport, as well as in the rail and maritime sectors. Maximator Hydrogen specialises in the development and construction of modern hydrogen refuelling stations that enable fast, safe and reliable refuelling of hydrogen-powered vehicles and machinery. Thanks to this expertise, the company has already successfully delivered projects in the USA, Germany, Switzerland, the Benelux countries and other European regions.
The Strength of SK Group
A significant competitive advantage is the integration of FEST and Maximator into Schmidt Kranz Group (SK Group), an international industrial group with more than a century of tradition. SK Group brings together companies active in hydrogen, high-pressure technology, automation and industrial technologies, enabling the delivery of complex projects from initial design through to commissioning.
Combining expertise in electrolysers, automation, high-pressure systems and refuelling creates a unique foundation for building the hydrogen infrastructure of the future in Europe.
Hydrogen and the Czech Republic
The Moravian-Silesian Region and other industrial regions of the Czech Republic are among the areas with strong potential for the development of hydrogen technologies. The Moravian-Silesian Region in particular is positioning itself as one of the key locations for the Czech Republic’s so-called ‘hydrogen valley’. Maximator is actively involved in the region as a reliable partner for industrial companies and research initiatives, helping them transform energy-intensive operations.
Cooperation with Cylinders Holding is key to the region’s development. Maximator technology is combined with durable pressure vessels to create a complete containerised hydrogen storage solution for refuelling stations, as well as commercial and industrial applications.
By combining green hydrogen production, modern compression technologies, storage systems and refuelling infrastructure, hydrogen can become one of the potential pillars of the future energy and mobility landscape.
