Aalberts N.V. started the construction of two new facilities in the Benelux. The total combined Aalberts investment for the coming 4 years will be approximately EUR 60 million in land, buildings and equipment. Construction of its new distribution centre started at its existing location in Herentals, Belgium, to facilitate the growth of its piping system business, combined with improved supply chain efficiency and lay-out. Equipped with solar panels, heat pumps and underfloor heating, this distribution centre will be highly energy efficient. The former distribution site will be transformed to expand its manufacturing capacity and implement new technologies. Construction of a new manufacturing and distribution centre, office and academy also started for Aalberts hydronic flow control in Almere, the Netherlands. This sustainable (BREEAM) facility enables to even better service its customers, streamline and improve production and supply chain and gain more efficiency and growth. The new location will facilitate the production of its innovative pressurisation and storage technology for the fast-growing eco-friendly building market. The Aalberts hydronic flow control academy will be used to train its partners, installers and building owners in realising the highest level of energy efficiency in buildings.
