New facility

The chemistry is right – the people and the corporate philosophies fit each other.
Along with an extensive range of high-grade standard products, Van-der- Heijden’s particular strength lies in the area of special designs. Customers are provided with comprehensive advice and individual configurations or customised solutions to master their temperature control tasks.
“Their product portfolio complements the portfolio of our group," said Huber. "In analytics and when it comes down to the cost-effective dissipation of process heat, Van-der- Heijden is already one of the best.”
“The operations buildings are functional, based on ecological principles and are in great condition. The chemistry is right – the people and the corporate philosophies fit each other.”
