The development of the ComEx Global series marks a milestone in BARTEC‘s history, bringing together innovative minds from different fields to create a product portfolio that meets the highest technical and normative standards.
BARTEC has 50 years of expertise in the explosion protection industry and can therefore support you throughout the whole hydrogen value chain. We offer our customers expert advice, support, and knowledge on explosion protection around the key process components. We not only offer ex-protected components and systems, but also help OEM customers to equip their solutions for hydrogen applications. The hydrogen value chain consists of three parts: safe energy production, transport, and industrial consumption. Each of these fields requires expert know-how to ensure safety in hazardous areas, decrease costs, and guarantee compliance with regulations, codes, and standards that hydrogen requires.

Karel Neleman is a true BARTEC veteran and has been with the company for over 30 years. His job as Technical Manager is to ensure all produced Ex Equipment comply with the relevant directives and standards and can therefore be brought to market. Karel has found his calling at the Ridderkerk site. In this interview, he explains how explosion protection has changed over the last few decades, the milestones he can look back on and the insights he has gained from his many years of work.
Taking responsibility in every area of activity has been an integral part of BARTEC's DNA since the company was founded. In the development and manufacturing of explosion-proof technology, protecting people, the environment, and assets is always our top priority. It is both a guiding principle and our core business. This is omnipresent in practice. It starts with individual employees paying attention to saving electricity consumption and ideally permeates all value-added processes, such as purchasing, development, production and sales.
