Sachin Nijhawan has been appointed as the new CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera US, whilst Juergen Grasinger was named Chief Operating Officer.
The two new additions will look to advance the company’s international growth strategy and expand its global leadership in the manufacturing and supply of hydrogen production technology.
Based out of the thyssenkrupp’s Houston office, Nijhawan will be responsible for the business activities of the US operations.
Commenting on the appointment, thyssenkrupp nucera CEO, Werner Ponikwar, said, “Sachin brings to our US team the right blend of expertise and commercial relationships to advance our international growth strategy and continue our market leadership in the large and growing hydrogen market.”
Grasinger’s expanded role as COO will see him ensure continuity across all operations and processes to meet the needs of thyssenkrupp’s blue-chip customers and large-scale clean energy projects.
Ponikwar added, “Together, Sachin and Juergen have the full support and resources of thyssenkrupp nucera and its advisory board, and we are excited for the path forward as we jointly collaborate to unlock the huge market potential for driving towards decarbonisation and climate neutrality.”
The new US CEO claimed his appointment came at a “key inflection point for both the company and the broader hydrogen industry.”
Nijhawan added, “I have long admired thyssenkrupp nucera’s deep engineering and technology capabilities, significant R&D resources and its commitment to profitable execution of customer orders in the global energy industry.”
Last month (August) the German OEM warned that green hydrogen sector growth is being delayed by regulatory uncertainty in its Q3 2024 results.

Despite orders for its alkaline electrolyser technology growing to €220.1m ($240.6m) in Q3, primarily driven by the €200m ($218.6m) order from H2 Green Steel, the company said growth was “significantly slowed” due to the “prevailing uncertainty” in the market for green hydrogen.
