ANGI Energy Systems, a Vontier company and North American supplier of refueling equipment and systems for compressed gases, is expanding its European footprint and supporting the growth of its hydrogen, biomethane and compressed natural gas (CNG) business with the appointment of David Muckle as European Managing Director.

As the largest provider of compressed natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen compression and refueling infrastructure in North America – counting more than 2000 system installations globally – ANGI said it is well-positioned to capitalise on this momentum.

Muckle brings a wealth of experience leading high performance teams and driving growth over the course of nearly two decades in the compressed gases sector.

Most recently he has focused on the transportation sector, having managed the development of compression to support the electrification of buses in the UK, before leading a global high pressure hydrogen business, focused on hydrogen mobility and refueling infrastructure.

In his new role, David will be responsible for driving the full commercialisation of ANGI’s hydrogen, biomethane and CNG solutions in Europe and partnering with sister company Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a leading provider of refueling technologies and services, to bring ANGI’s quality-engineered solutions to the European market.

David Muckle said: “I’m proud to be at the helm of ANGI’s European business with such an exciting road ahead of us. ANGI is renowned across the US for highly reliable technology and industry leading uptime. I’m looking forward to demonstrating the same credibility in Europe as we build out the crucial hydrogen, CNG and biomethane infrastructure needed to help our customers meet their decarbonisation goals.”

Joel van Rensburg, President at ANGI concluded: “We are thrilled to welcome David to our leadership team at ANGI, at such a pivotal time in our 40 year history. His appointment is key to supporting not only our business but the transportation sector at large as we develop game-changing technologies and refueling infrastructure to meet Europe’s bold net zero goals.”
