Honoured with an Export Partner Award

A particularly proud moment for our team was being presented with one of the Export Partner Awards.

To be recognised among international partners is a real testament to the hard work happening on the ground in the UK. This award doesn’t just belong to Wärmetek as a company, it belongs to:

  • Our dedicated internal team
  • Our network of OCHSNER-approved installers
  • Every engineer who insists on doing things properly
  • Every project where installation standards are never compromised

Across England and Wales, our installer partners consistently set the bar high in terms of system design, hydraulic accuracy, commissioning quality and customer care. This recognition reflects that shared commitment to excellence.

We are incredibly proud of everyone involved.

Celebrating 80 Years of Karl OCHSNER Senior

The event was made even more special as it coincided with the 80th birthday of Karl Ochsner.

Karl OCHSNER Senior is a true pioneer in the heat pump industry. His lifelong dedication to advancing heat pump technology has helped shape the modern renewable heating sector across Europe and beyond.

It was a genuine honour to celebrate this milestone and to meet the man himself in person. His passion for engineering, innovation and sustainable energy remains as strong as ever and it was inspiring to hear firsthand about the early days of heat pump development and how far the industry has come.

Moments like that remind us that today’s progress is built on decades of vision and perseverance.

Looking Ahead

Attending World Sustainable Energy Days reinforced something we firmly believe:

The future of heating is electric.

The future of heating is efficient.

And the future of heating is collaborative.

With new product launches on the horizon and continued investment in installer training and technical excellence, Wärmetek is excited about what 2026 and beyond will bring.

To our team, our installers, and our partners at OCHSNER, thank you. We’re proud to be part of this journey together. If you are interested in becoming a system partner get in touch!
