Blue Star offers support for Euro heat pump output

INDIA: Keen to support European heat pump producers, Blue Star, one of India’s leading HVACR manufacturers, is co-sponsoring next week’s European Heat Pump Association Forum and Awards. 

Blue Star is a major original design manufacturer (ODM), serving a number of well known American and European OEM customers since 2012. These client-specific products include heating and cooling solutions ranging from heat pumps to mini VRFs, and single zone hi-wall splits to swimming pool heat pumps. 

“With governments across Europe accelerating the adoption of heat pump technologies, manufacturers must match the growing demand with market-ready products if they are to tap into these opportunities,” said Blue Star’s international business group CEO Tom Overs. “Blue Star enables manufactures to meet the growing demand with custom designed HVAC solutions.”

The company is a gold partner at the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) Forum and Awards, which takes place in Brussels on the 25 and 26 September. The conference will highlight the importance of heat pump technology in enabling Europe to reach its carbon reduction and energy stability goals.

Blue Star Europe’s vice president of sales, Jason Tinsley, maintains that the company is well-placed to support manufacturers as they tackle the challenges of the heat pump market. “At Blue Star, we undertake research, development of innovative technologies as per the manufacturer’s needs. We can de-risk product development with our custom design approach. This reduces the time it takes to get from drawing board to production line.

“By partnering with us, manufacturers can respond quickly to new market opportunities, like those being highlighted at this year’s Conference.”

Blue Star has an annual turnover of over US$1.16 billion, a network of 30 offices, seven manufacturing facilities, 3500 employees, and 5500 channel partners. It has a presence in Europe, UK, North America, Middle East and Asia. It has pioneered the use of technology in product design, with continuous investment in its R&D facilities and a team of 230 expert personnel.
