Our new production site in Rimavská Sobota
In the course of our future orientated business development strategy we build a new production site in Slovakia for producing storage tanks for heating and cooling systems for worldwide needs.
Due to climate change and the shift towards renewable energy sources, the demand for buffer storage tanks will rise sharply in the future. With our new plant and the resulting increase in capacity, we are laying the foundations for the company's continued success in the future.
The new site will include a production hall of approx. 44,000 sqm, an assembly hall and a logistic warehouse. Modern and ecological designed parking zones, a complete new infrastructure of roads, paths and green spaces will complete the entire site.
