Hydrasun Acquires Fuel Cell Systems, a Leading Provider of Hydrogen Systems and Applications
Aberdeen, Scotland – September 2022 – SCF Partners (“SCF”) is pleased to announce Hydrasun has acquired Fuel Cell Systems Ltd. (“FCS”), a leading provider of a range of hydrogen systems and applications including fuel cells, modular electrolyzer systems, compression, storage, and mobile and static refueling systems, along with a range of complimentary design consultancy services. The FCS acquisition builds on Hydrasun’s existing footprint and position as a systems builder and integrator in the emerging hydrogen sector and adds proprietary technology and further expands the range of overall hydrogen systems capabilities to its offerings.
FCS’s core business involves working with major fuel cell manufacturers and then designing and recommending the most suitable solution for each customers requirements and how best to integrate these within their energy systems. In addition to this, the company has developed a series of hydrogen refueling systems for a range of end user applications in the transport sectors and integrated modular electrolyzer systems for hydrogen generation.
Key priorities for the initial “post-acquisition” phase include a significant recruitment drive, a significant scaling up of the manufacture of the FCS range of mobile hydrogen refueling systems and a significant increase in investment to accelerate ongoing R&D and new technology and product development.
“We are delighted to have completed this transaction and are very excited at the prospect of working closely with Tom and the team at FCS and to achieving the full potential for our combined organizations in the rapidly emerging and growing Hydrogen Sector,” said Bob Drummond, CEO of Hydrasun
