Unitherm Heating Systems acquired by Purmo Group

This is a very significant industry development. However, both Unitherm and Purmo have emphasised that it is a case of all change but no change. Unitherm will continue to operate as before but with the added resources and strength of the Purmo Group to call on.

Unitherm has a comprehensive and impressive product portfolio that represents some of the leading European manufacturers of highquality products and system solutions. It distributes them predominantly through wholesaler networks and the company is especially known for technical expertise and the high level of support it provides. Significant emphasis is also put on training and it offers regular training and upskilling courses for installers and students through its three training academies.

“Our mission at Unitherm is to create a healthy, sustainable living environment by promoting more efficient heating and cooling systems using renewable energy sources, with less carbon emissions,” says Declan

Kissane, CEO and joint founder of Unitherm Heating Systems Ltd. “At Unitherm, we are very passionate about finding the best heating solution for our long-term and new customers, and I am confident that the professionalism and expertise of Purmo Group will take us to the next level in doing just that.”

While very secure and profitable, Unitherm was looking at ways to consolidate and expand its market position in Ireland, the UK and perhaps even further afield. This acquisition by Purmo Group will now facilitate that. There are a great many synergies between both organisations and Purmo’s additional resources and financial strength, in addition to its strategic solution sales platform, will accelerate this process.

In welcoming Unitherm to the Purmo Group. John Peter Leesi, CEO, said: “Unitherm has a solid presence in the Ireland and UK markets, where we aspire to grow as part of our own solution selling strategy. The company, which has impressive revenue growth combined with its excellent heat pump expertise and technical knowhow, is an exciting addition to our business. The acquisition perfectly aligns with our commitment to promoting sustainability.”

Technical Insulation Solutions has developed the INSUL-PHEN Phenolic Foam range of closed cell insulation products focusing on achieving the highest possible thermal insulation value. INSUL-PHEN Phenolic Pipe Sections and Pipe Supports are available in a range of densities from clos pos thermal insulation value. INSUL-PHEN Phenolic Sect and are available in a of densities fro 40 kg/m to 120 kg/m .

Increased awareness of th i i d hi h d d f h l i

Increased awareness of energy consumption is driving the construction industry to higher standards of thermal insulation. INSUL-PHEN 40 kg/m excels in thermal insulation value with an aged thermal conductivity of 0.025 W/mK.

High density material such as INSUL-PHEN 80 kg/m and over provide the high mechanical strength required for applications such as the use of Pipe Supports, Duct Supports and other industrial applications. INSUL-PHEN provides solutions to achieve higher insulation values at minimum thickness.

All products in the INSUL-PHEN product range have one other unique feature apart from the highest thermal insulation value testing concludes that INSUL-PHEN has a Euroclass of BL-s1, d0. It has an extremely low smoke emission and does not create layer on the exposed surface which protects the deeper layers of the material.
