KnitMesh Technologies, a leading UK manufacturer of knitted wire mesh, has announced a strategic partnership with GKD, a global expert in woven wire mesh. The collaboration brings together two of the most respected names in the industry to offer an expanded product portfolio and a more streamlined value chain to customers across Europe, North America, and eventually, global markets.

The partnership aims to deliver a comprehensive solution for industries with complex and demanding mesh requirements. Combining knitted and woven wire mesh expertise, customers can now benefit from integrated offerings from a single source, improving efficiency, sourcing, and product performance.

One key area of focus is the green hydrogen sector, particularly for companies involved in alkaline electrolysis. The collaboration enables the delivery of both mesh formats, as well as full electrolyser cell assemblies tailored to meet the rigorous demands of hydrogen production.

Automotive manufacturers will also benefit from the partnership, with a simplified procurement process for dual mesh technologies, offering consistency in supply and performance.

“We are thrilled to partner with GKD in this exciting venture,” said Peter Evans, Managing Director of KnitMesh Technologies. “This collaboration allows us to offer our customers a complete wire mesh solutions service, backed by the combined expertise of two industry leaders. Together, we are committed to driving innovation and excellence in the industry, setting a new standard for mesh solutions globally.”

The partnership will make its debut at the upcoming World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam from 20–22 May 2025, where the newly combined product range for hydrogen production will be unveiled.
