Flexens successfully exits its spin-off – Norwegian Hydrogen acquires HydRe

  • published February 3, 2023

A year ago, Flexens Oy Ab celebrated the launch of their spin-off HydRe, a startup aiming to build a hydrogen refuelling station network in Northern Europe. Now, Flexens is fulfilling its role as incubator, exiting HydRe and welcoming Norwegian Hydrogen as the spin-off’s new owner.

Our strategy is to focus on the development of green hydrogen production, and our contribution to the founding of HydRe supports that goal. We look forward to cooperating with HydRe and its new owner to decarbonise the transport sector.

Berndt Schalin, CEO, Flexens Oy Ab

THE HYDRE JOURNEY

HydRe was founded at the beginning of 2022 with the intention to decarbonise heavy road transport and increase local energy security. The ambition is to construct at least fifty hydrogen refuelling stations by 2050.

Recently, HydRe received a Finnish Energy Authority investment grant for their project in Lieto, Finland, where the startup intends to build Finland’s first hydrogen refuelling station. Now, HydRe is welcoming new owners: Norwegian Hydrogen, another Northern European company, founded in 2020, focused on the whole green hydrogen value chain.

This day is full of happiness and excitement! Norwegian Hydrogen is a perfect match for HydRe and our future journey. I thank Flexens for believing in us and the support.

Juho-Matti Uuksulainen, CEO, HydRe

Even though Flexens is exiting HydRe as its owner, Flexens and HydRe will continue their partnership. The companies are currently preparing a green hydrogen plant paired with a hydrogen refuelling station in Lempäälä, Finland.

“We are excited to see what HydRe has been able to grow into and cannot wait to see what they will accomplish”, says Schalin. “We are pleased to have contributed to the success of HydRe so far, and look forward to future cooperation.”
