Shaping History for More Than 60 Years

1960

The Roots

Our proven experience and know-how in industrial, large-scale electrolysis begins with the founding of Uhde’s electrolysis division (Germany) in 1960 and Chlorine Engineers Corp. Ltd. (Japan) in 1973.

Early Successes

With Uhde's first BM single element membrane technology (1984) and Chlorine Engineers’ first product of the BiTAC family with zero-gap technology (1994), we lay foundations for becoming a global market leader in chlor-alkali membrane electrolysis.

Steadily Advancing

UHDENORA S.p.A. (Italy), a joint venture between Uhde and Industrie De Nora, now centers our knowledge and technology. Together with Uhde, De Nora and Covestro, we develop the HCl-ODC technology process and open the first industrial HCl-ODC reference plant in Germany.

Joining Forces

After Uhde separates its electrolysis business into a standalone company called thyssenkrupp Electrolysis GmbH, we establish the joint venture between thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions and Industrie De Nora called thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers.

A Key Milestone

Together, we continue the research and development for hydrogen production with electrolysis at our Carbon2Chem® 2 MW green hydrogen demonstration plant in Duisburg. Simultaneously, we stay true to our heritage and release the latest version of the BiTAC family.
