ESBE brings comfort and efficiency to Asia's households

Karsten Pillukeit, CEO

Asia's expanding middle class is driving the demand for more comfortable living environments such as residential spaces with ample heating, cooling and water supply. With the infrastructure upgrades in Asia, international valve maker ESBE Group is keen on supporting the region's need for premium hydronic systems.

The fourth-generation family-owned company is Europe's leading provider of energy-efficient control solutions for residential heating, cooling and tap water systems. Located in Sweden, ESBE has been developing and producing valves and actuators in its state-of-the-art research and manufacturing facility for more than 100 years.

"We work closely with customers and partners to provide products and solutions that respond to market demands," says CEO Karsten Pillukeit. "Working together over a long period of time with trade partners and with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), we develop trust and lasting relationships which are perceived as win-win situations."

ESBE continues to set new standards with its broad range of valves and actuators used in numerous applications including traditional heating, solar thermal tap water, heat pumps, solid fuel and underfloor heating.

ESBE products have three clear features: they use less energy, enhance comfort and improve safety. The valve heart is a mere brass rod. Through machining and engineering, ESBE turns it into a tool assuring comfort, security and energy efficiency in complex systems.

Global manufacturers such as Ariston, Daikin Industries and Mitsubishi Electric develop and market product systems with ESBE valves and expertise inside.

"We offer a premium product in our sector, but clients happily pay the add-on because they get good technology, reliability and superior cost of ownership," Pillukeit says.

Responding to the industry's need for innovative but simpler heating and cooling systems, ESBE is developing advanced subsystems and smart compact units for equipment manufacturers. It targets OEMs and distribution partners in Asia.

"We eliminate risks through smart kits and solutions," Pillukeit says.

"Every valve we sell makes the world better."
