The supplier of sustainable heating products opened its new regional headquarters in Dublin this month which will serve all regions across the country.
With global headquarters based in Germany and 26 existing sales operations around the world, the Dublin location will see Stiebel Eltron strengthen its reach with the delivery of a range of heat pumps, electric hot water, space heating and ventilation products across Ireland.
As The Government of Ireland looks to develop Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) by 2025 as part of its climate action plan, the company will look to drive sustainable energy solutions across the country to support this.
Located at Blanchardstown, the Dublin office holds five employees from the first day who will be on hand to support customers with their expertise in implementing renewable energy technology in homes across the country.
Opening with a view to supporting every aspect of the Irish market’s supply chain, the company will provide support and guidance for all customers, whether they are end consumers, installers, developers, consultants, or architects.
The Ireland headquarters opens with a new showroom, fitted out with the latest sustainable heating products, innovations, and technologies.
Additionally, the headquarters features a training centre which will see experienced and prospective renewable energy technicians supported from day one, offering them comprehensive training to develop a raft of qualified, experienced engineers who will serve the area.
While the government has set out plans to reduce carbon emissions across residential households, Ireland is set to fall short of targets with the Environmental Protection Agency (The EPA) anticipating a reduction of 29 percent in Greenhouse Gas by 2030 compared to a target of 51 percent.[i]
The EPA estimates that residential buildings are the only sector on track to meet current targets, with emissions expected to decrease by 36 per cent to 47 per cent by 2030, and Stiebel Eltron’s entry into the market will help galvanise this.
Mark McManus, Stiebel Eltron Irleand managing director, said: “The Irish markets hold huge opportunity for renewable energy technologies, so developing an office which will support this sector was a no brainer.
“We have a track record in creating and supplying tried and tested innovative renewable energy products to a global market, as well as being a leader in sharing our expertise to drive these green solutions forward.
“We’re excited by the prospect of working with Irish consumers to achieve the clear goals outlined by the government in building regulations which will create a more sustainable future across Ireland.”
