Shandong Saikesaisi Hydrogen Energy

What Shandong Saikesaisi Hydrogen Energy does

Shandong Saikesaisi Hydrogen Energy Co., Ltd. (山东赛克赛斯氢能源有限公司) is a Jinan-based, privately held Chinese manufacturer founded in 2007 that specializes in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) pure water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment. The company claims 70% domestic market share in the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen equipment segment, ranked first in China, and reports 1,000+ cumulative solutions delivered across more than 30 countries. Its technology stack covers self-developed proton exchange membranes, iridium/ruthenium-based catalysts, membrane electrode assemblies, and electrolyzer stacks — reportedly the only Chinese firm with full model coverage of PEM hydrogen production stacks.

The company generates revenue primarily through direct enterprise sales of PEM hydrogen production equipment ranging from compact laboratory QL-series generators (mL/min scale) to multi-megawatt industrial systems (up to 2.5MW, 500 Nm³/h per unit), supplemented by EPC turnkey solutions, after-sales lifecycle maintenance, and customized ultra-pure (6N-9N grade, ppb impurity level) hydrogen systems. Its go-to-market is B2B enterprise field sales organized by Chinese province, with separate sales verticals for power plants, semiconductors, and diamond manufacturing. Key customers include state-owned energy majors (Sinopec, PetroChina, CNNC, State Power Investment), semiconductor fabs (Foshan, Ningbo, Russian export), and international players (Toyota Japan, Apple USA). The company completed a Series B financing of several hundred million RMB in July 2023, is constructing a 182-acre Green Hydrogen Industrial Park, launched the 'Scyn.X' international brand in 2025, and signed a strategic Japanese partnership in September 2025 to expand into Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
