Swedish energy tech company Climeon has increased its capacity with the launch of a new test centre for the development and testing of heat power modules.
The new testing facility is adjoined to the company's new office in Kista, with the possibility of more customer demonstrations, faster development verification, extended test time and a unified organisation.
"We are building the business to become a globally leading product company within energy technology, says CEO Thomas Öström. Therefore, it is strategic for us to gather the organisation in one place.
"With the new test centre in Kista, we will have development, delivery and service in one place and the entire organisation will be close to the technology, continues Thomas Öström. This gives us optimal conditions for continued expansion."
Climeon's business is focused on moving gradually towards high volume business. In order to meet a rapidly rising demand and higher volumes, the business is being built to scale up. The expansion of the testing capacity is a part of this work.
The Heat Power modules are produced by contract manufacturer Mastec in Vaggeryd, Småland. Mastec's facility has the capacity to produce 400 modules per year with the possibility of scaling up to a maximum of 2,500 modules per year. Scalability is primarily made possible by the Heat Power system being based on standardized modules that can be serially manufactured. Mastec also conducts testing in Vaggeryd.
At the end of the second quarter of 2018, Climeon's order backlog amounted to approximately SEK 740 million.
