H-Tec Systems, a German GP Joule subsidiary, has come under new management. In May, Heiner Gärtner and Ove Petersen began to transfer responsibility for day-to-operations to Frank Zimmermann, H-Tec’s chief financial officer, and Joachim Herrmann, while they retained their lead positions at the parent company.

The subsidiary has set its sights on expansion. In April, part of its Lübeck-based staff moved to a new location, which has offices and a factory hall, in Braak’s Stapelfeld industrial area in the county of Stormarn, northeast of Hamburg. Zimmermann told H2-international that the company was planning to make the new site the center of its stack research and development.
