GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft: GEA RT becomes GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies - Seite 2

Providing customers better access to heating and cooling technology
To provide customers easier access to the latest heat pump technology, GEA is investing a high single-digit million-Euro sum in the extension of its test centers throughout Europe.

The expansion from 400m² to 850m² of its existing test center in Berlin started in May 2021 and is scheduled to conclude in 2023. As the facility will be 90 percent automated and operational 24/7, customers will for example benefit from digital and real-time machine and performance data. In Den Bosch, Netherlands, GEA is integrating its off-site test centers into the existing factory and extending it with new state-of-the art test equipment.

"These measures help drive GEA's own sustainability goals as well as increase customer satisfaction by providing them support on their road to decarbonization," Becker adds. "We are now seizing the opportunity to expand our division sustainably. This is a perfect example of engineering for a better world."
