BDR Thermea Group is building a 25,000m2 production site for heat pumps and hot water tanks in eastern Slovakia to meet the fast-growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient heating solutions. The new factory, due to open its doors in 2024, will produce 150,000 heat pumps and 300,000 hot water tanks each year, and employ 700 people. The site will be located in the industrial park “Ferovopark” in Vranov nad Topľou, which is located near Košice, Slovakia’s second-largest city. For BDR Thermea, local partnerships are crucial to developing these types of projects, and the group is working closely on the development with national and regional governments.
We just started to build the factory, so at this moment in general too early to indicate which type of cooperation is sought. Potential suppliers for Tank and HP manufacturing are the only exception
