Warming up was yesterday. Accordingly, cryo chambers have also been established in Germany for years and is being used in top-class sports as well as in therapy against rheumatism. The principle is simple: nitrogen cools the air to minus 196 degrees via a heat exchanger that is then guided into the cold chamber. "These cosmic temperatures that do not occur anywhere else on the planet, can be endured only by the low humidity, that is almost at null", said Sophie Goguillot, the USON team doctor. 

The French company Criotec, that designed the cold chamber for Nevers is looked after by Régis Dorner. The 42 year old Alsatian has been working as sales engineer at HEROSE since 2013. Together with Philippe Fusillier, he is responsible for the French markets; he is also responsible for the Maghreb states Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. 

Philippe Fusillier, 52, working for HEROSE since 2015, is responsible for Western France and in particular, looks after the LNG Marine Business. He is married, has one son and his main hobby is running – even up to marathons. 

Kim Jana Gerken, Marvin Berg and Danis Shageev in Bad Oldesloe, Germany, help with the order and quatation processing for France. 

After Germany, France is one of the most important market for HEROSE; since 2013, Dorner could increase turnover by 25 % – "a figure that we want to reach again in the next five years." Régis Dorner has already negotiated the first orders at the Space Market in France – as known, the Ariane rockets of the ESA start in French Guiana. Régis Dorner describes his sales philosophy as follows: "I do not only present the customer our products, I also offer targeted proposed solutions." And Régis is sure about one thing: the future of hydrogen as everyday energy suppliers: "I have been a member of AFHIPAC for HEROSE in France for a while, a consolidation of companies that want to bring hydrogen to market maturity."

Régis Dorner lives in the Alsatian Mülhausen. He is married and has two children. He can relax best with music – being an organist and conductor in his home town.
