The leadership handover marks a significant step for Quest One, which has been navigating a competitive and shifting hydrogen market. Meister had already assumed interim responsibility for strategic leadership in February, and with his permanent appointment he will also continue to oversee production, quality and procurement.
Jürgen Klöpffer, chairman of the advisory board of Quest One and executive board member of Everllence, stated: “Michael Meister has led Quest One with strong leadership through a challenging phase in recent months and has set important strategic directions for the company’s future. He will play a key role in advancing Quest One in the current demanding market environment.”

Ménage joined Quest One from Everllence (formerly MAN Energy Solutions), where he most recently led the turbocharger segment’s engineering division at the machinery and plant manufacturer. He succeeds Marius Zasche, who has taken on a new role at Everllence. (hcn)
