ESCO, Ltd. has been selected as a supported enterprise under the "FY2026 Overseas Hydrogen Trade Fair Exhibition Support Project" commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
As part of this initiative, ESCO will exhibit within the Tokyo Pavilion at Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026 in Hamburg, Germany—one of Europe's largest international hydrogen trade fairs.
Since its founding in 1978, ESCO has been a specialized manufacturer of Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy (TDS) systems, pioneering high-precision quantitative analysis of internal/surface hydrogen and trace outgassing. At the expo, ESCO will showcase its latest TDS solutions designed to meet the growing demands of Europe's rapidly expanding "Hydrogen Core Network" (pipeline infrastructure), hydrogen embrittlement (delayed fracture) risk evaluation in automotive and structural metals, next-generation hydrogen carrier/catalyst development, and ultra-high-temperature material testing for nuclear fusion.
Exhibition Overview
* Event Name: Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026
* Dates: October 20 (Tue) – October 22 (Thu), 2026
* Venue: Hamburg Messe, Germany (Hall B7, Stand 7G37, Tokyo Pavilion)
* Official Website: https://www.hydrogen-worldexpo.com/
Booth Highlights & Services
* Exhibits: Latest application panels and real sample displays (high-strength automotive bolts, hydrogen pipeline steel cuts, silicon wafers, etc.).
* Video Demonstrations: On-screen video presentations demonstrating direct sample loading, real-time spectrum analysis, and quantitative software workflows.
* Technical Consultation & Contract Analysis: On-site consultations for contract testing services using customer-provided samples and distribution of English academic summary sheets.
Features: Accommodates large components (up to 30×30×30 mm) with a direct-insertion chamber—eliminating complex UHV transfer for fast, user-friendly hydrogen quantification.
Features: Sub-zero measurement starting from -100°C for capturing highly mobile diffusible hydrogen and identifying trap sites (dislocations, vacancies).
* ESCO-TDS1700 IH | High-Frequency Induction Heating TDS
Features: Ultra-high-temperature analysis up to 1,700°C, ideal for nuclear fusion first-wall materials, heat-resistant alloys, and carbon edge functionality/outgassing evaluation.
* ESCO-TDS1200Ⅱ IR / BGM | Ultra-High Vacuum Surface Analysis System with Bandgap Monitor
Features: Direct, non-contact measurement of true silicon surface temperature for wafer bonding, MEMS packaging, and oxide semiconductor evaluation.
Through this exhibition, ESCO aims to expand its proven track record and high reliability from the Asian market into Europe, contributing to global hydrogen safety and infrastructure deployment.
