Heat pumps are indeed regarded as one of the most significant means of producing fossil-free energy in the process industry and energy companies.

Moreover, it will further accelerate the development of the industrial heat pump business, where Oilon has seen a notable expansion in recent years: deliveries grew significant. At present, the greatest demand comes from the European market, the needs of which are met by cooperation with Trane.
– "We have aggressive growth targets in industrial heat pumps, which are expected to become Oilon's core business in a few years' time. With such prospects, the capacity of the new plant will only be enough for a couple of years," Kukkola reckons.
