McPhy remotely installs a complete hydrogen line for the preparation of metallic components for the DIAX industrial group

• The DIAX industrial group selected the Piel by McPhy electrolysis hydrogen and oxygen generation technology to equip its sintering diamond tools line

• The commissioning phase was entirely carried out remotely by McPhy teams in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic

La Motte-Fanjas, June 4, 2020 – 5.45 CEST – McPhy (Euronext Paris Compartment C : MCPHY, FR0011742329) specialized in hydrogen production and distribution equipment, today announced the installation and remote commissioning of a complete Piel line (hydrogen and oxygen generators and their auxiliaries) for the DIAX industrial group, one of the world leaders of diamond tools in the Balkans market and Eastern Europe.

Laurent Carme, McPhy CEO, stated: "The achievement of this project demonstrates the perfect adequacy of the new design of our Piel line of equipment for light industry and confirms the constant deployment of this range internationally with a fleet of 3,000 pieces of equipment spread all over the world. This new commercial success also illustrates the growing commitment of light industry to the fight against climate change. By producing their own clean hydrogen on site, industrial companies ensure the decarbonation of their processes, cost control and energy independence. Finally, this commissioning was carried out remotely thanks to the digital supervision modules integrated in the new Piel design. The digitalization of our equipment is particularly useful in the current sanitary context, but also meets a strong demand from industrial groups which wish to obtain, in real time, a reading and an analysis of their production data, or to plan preventive maintenance operations, and thus gain in flexibility and productivity. Alongside multi-megawatt projects, the Piel facilities provide a solid source of growth for McPhy and tangible economic solutions for pollution reduction for industrial companies that are concerned about their environment and committed to zero-carbon energy.”

Klaser Djani, DIAX Director, added: “McPhy selection was based primarily on the availability shown by the Piel technical sales staff in wanting to meet customer needs by providing a system that was easy to manage and able to adapt to future expansion needs requested by DIAX, with a promise of post-sale technique assistance that exceeded expectations. This is Piel's real strength, especially in an uncertain period such as the Covid-19 pandemic which brought a lot of additional constraints. Finally, the commercial offer has proven to be a high-level product but with excellent value for money.”
