Its role Technology / equipment supplier
Quest One GmbH, operating formerly as H-TEC Systems GmbH, is a specialist manufacturer of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers designed for green hydrogen production from renewable electricity.
The company focuses on the development, production, and supply of modular PEM electrolysis systems and related services. Key products include the compact ME450 turnkey electrolyzer (approximately 1 MW capacity) and the Modular Hydrogen Platform (MHP) for scalable industrial installations starting at 10 MW. These technologies support applications in heavy transport refueling, industrial decarbonization, e-fuels production, and power sector flexibility, delivering high-purity hydrogen with strong load-following capabilities.
Headquartered in Augsburg, Germany, Quest One maintains its primary engineering and assembly site there alongside an automated PEM stack production Gigahub in Hamburg capable of multi-gigawatt annual output at full scale. It has established a North American presence with operations in Houston, Texas, and supplies projects internationally, including electrolyzers for the 3 MW Helsinki hydrogen plant in Finland.
Acquired by MAN Energy Solutions in 2019 and operating as a subsidiary with majority ownership since 2021, the company draws on the engineering expertise, global sales network, and production scaling capabilities of MAN Energy Solutions and the Volkswagen Group. This structure positions Quest One as one of the leading European providers of PEM electrolysis technology, actively scaling toward industrial series production to support the broader hydrogen economy.
Also known as H-TEC Systems GmbH, H-TEC Wasserstoff-Energie-Systeme GmbH, and Quest One.

The study will assess green hydrogen production feasibility in Helsinki, aiding low-cost design for carbon-neutral energy by 2030, with completion expected by mid-2025.
The plant will supply hydrogen for heavy transport, use waste heat for district heating, and aims to cut CO2 emissions by 3,700 tonnes annually, launching in 2026 with aid from the Finnish government.
