This activity will be postponed (until possibly July or September) due to the corona virus.


On Friday 20 March 2020, KIVI RBT has been invited by Remeha for an introduction to the innovative company. The annual meeting will also be held there.

Remeha develops innovative and energy-efficient products for climate control or heat and hot water, both for homes and utilities. With its innovations, Remeha wants to anticipate the wishes and needs of today and the future as well as possible. With solutions for all energy carriers - Gas, Electricity and Heat Networks - Remeha has realistic and suitable solutions for every ambition, regardless of scale and complexity, making energy transition feasible and affordable.

With over 500 employees, Remeha implements development, production and market approach in a modern way, making it a leading manufacturer in the Netherlands and Europe. Remeha is one of the main brands within BDR Thermea Group. BDR Thermea Group in Apeldoorn achieves a turnover of 1.7 billion euros with 6,500 employees in over 100 countries.

The programme is as follows:
14:00 - 14:15: Reception and walk-in at Remeha
14:15 - 14:30: Departure to the factory (walking distance)
14:30 - 15:30: Tour of the factory
15:30 - 15:45: Departure factory to conference room (walking distance)
15:45 - 16:15: Short members' meeting KIVI RBT
16:15 - 16:30: Short break with a drink
16:30 - 17:45: Presentation Remeha (Remeha general: Erik. Remeha ET: Marco)
17:45 - 18:30: Exchange of thoughts on the topics covered with a non-alcoholic drink and snack
18:30: Closing.

*) Points of interest include in particular:
- The development of the hydrogen central heating boiler.
- The development of heat pumps.
- The risks in installing these systems in residential buildings.
- What is the involvement task of the developer of these boilers with this?
And all this in the context of the energy transition.

A current focus is the development and application of heat pumps as a large-scale replacement of the familiar central heating boiler. Since it also concerns applications in the private sphere (residential houses), this is a subject where risk management is high on the agenda right from the development phase!
After an introduction to this subject and a tour of Remeha's factory, there will be ample opportunity to discuss these developments and, where possible, to contribute additional experience of KIVI-RBT participants.

For practical reasons, the number of participants is limited so do not register too late (no later than 15 March).
