Enapter AG announced that Armin Steiner, the long-standing Chairman of the Supervisory Board, has stepped down from his position effective February 17, 2026. Steiner departed at his own request to pursue other professional engagements. The company's Supervisory Board will now consist of three members following this change. The Supervisory Board elected Ragnar Kruse, who previously served as Deputy Chairman, as the new Chairman. Simultaneously, Eva Katheder was elected to the position of Deputy Chairwoman. The Management Board and Supervisory Board expressed gratitude to Steiner for his long-standing commitment, trusting cooperation, and valuable contribution to Enapter's development.
This leadership transition occurs as Enapter continues to expand its global presence in the green hydrogen sector. The company develops and markets AEM electrolyzers for green hydrogen production alongside its digital platform CoreKraft. The patented Anion Exchange Membrane technology eliminates the need for expensive and scarce raw materials like iridium while enabling efficient, scalable hydrogen production that accommodates fluctuating energy from renewable sources like solar and wind power. Through its CoreKraft platform, Enapter provides a manufacturer-independent digital system for controlling, monitoring, and optimizing hydrogen and energy systems. This platform supports the integration of different electrolyzer technologies and energy components within a unified architecture, helping partners implement technology-neutral, hybrid plant concepts.
Thousands of Enapter AEM electrolyzers are currently operational with more than 360 customers across over 55 countries worldwide. The company maintains its headquarters in Germany with research and production facilities in Italy and a joint venture with the Wolong Group in China. Enapter AG trades on the regulated markets of the Frankfurt and Hamburg stock exchanges under the symbol H2O.
