GKD is the global market leader for technical mesh solutions made from metal and hybrid materials for industrial applications. With innovative weaving technologies, in‑house research, and a high level of vertical integration, GKD develops customized components, semi-finished products, and filtration systems for demanding processes along the entire energy and hydrogen value chain.
The solutions support the safe, efficient, and sustainable generation, storage, transport, and use of energy – particularly in the future market of hydrogen.
GKD offers:
customized technical meshes
development in cooperation with OEMs
simulation, laboratory, and testing expertise
series production and global delivery capability
consulting from material selection to integration
All solutions are developed to be customer-specific and process-optimized – from hydrogen production to end use.
Electrolysis – Materials for Efficient Hydrogen Production
GKD develops technical wire meshes and functional materials for various electrolysis technologies such as alkaline electrolysis, AEM, and SOEC. These materials are used, among other things, as electrode materials or current distributors, improving electrochemical reactions, efficiency, and process stability.
Through optimized surface structure, conductivity, and mechanical stability, the materials contribute to producing hydrogen economically and at scale.
Fuel Cells – Mesh for Energy Conversion
Special metal meshes from GKD are used in fuel cells as contact media or current distributors. Thanks to defined porosity and high electrical conductivity, they support efficient power generation and overall system performance.
Filtration, Cooling, and Transport of Hydrogen
For the safe handling of hydrogen, GKD offers customized filter and mesh solutions for:
hydrogen pipelines
liquid hydrogen transport
high-pressure systems
cooling systems and Stirling regenerators
The meshes are precisely tailored in terms of porosity, material, and design, ensuring reliable protection of systems against particles and contamination.
Hydrogen Refueling and E Fuel Systems
For refueling infrastructure and Power‑to‑X applications, GKD supplies robust filtration solutions and mesh laminates that operate reliably even under high pressure and temperature conditions.
They ensure:
high filtration fineness
material resistance against embrittlement
protection of turbines, compressors, and system components
safe delivery of high‑purity hydrogen
