Ground segment & equipment

Naco firmly believes hydrogen to be one of the key elements in driving climate change and net zero economy. Thus, it has concentrated all efforts in supporting this vision with its coating technology that can significantly improve scalability, efficiency and longevity of hydrogen technologies (i.e., electrolyzer / fuel cells).

Since hydrogen technologies are considered / tested also for space applications, Naco aims at driving the technological development in this field. It will allow to increase robustness, while reducing weight / size of fuel cell systems, used in ground based activities. 

TECHNOLOGIES AND COMPETENCES

Naco has developed unique high-speed nano-coating technology i.e. High-speed magnetron sputtering (HMS). The company provides a full spectrum from new material development in a form of nano-coating solutions, to delivery of coated components.
