Generating energy sustainably is one of the great challenges of our time - and green hydrogen is a building block of the solution. Hydrogen will play a key role in the future energy landscape and in the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries. Festo offers comprehensive automation solutions along the entire hydrogen value chain - on show at Hydrogen Expo in Hamburg from October 23 to 24, 2024 (booth 1I20, hall A1).

Wherever inert gases need to be precisely controlled, the mass flow controller VEFC from Festo is the right choice. Thanks to piezo technology, it is compact and flexible, and offers an excellent price/performance ratio. It is especially suitable for use in electronics manufacturing, food production, and anywhere in machine building where shielding gas is required.

The Olympic Games in Paris are over – now another French metropolis is taking center stage: Lyon will host the 47th WorldSkills from September 10 to 15, 2024. The WorldSkills Championships will bring together more than 1,500 young people from over 65 countries and regions to compete in 62 competitions.

Festo is expanding its portfolio to include multilayer manifolds made of plastic (bonded manifolds) in order to be able to offer manufacturers of medical and laboratory equipment solutions from a single source. To this end, Festo is taking over the production systems and processes for manufacturing these complex plastic manifolds from Carville, a leading company in this field.
