we rather call it sustainable entrepreneurship

Each year, Aalberts integrated piping systems delivers over three hundred million meters of pipes and connections for the hygienic distribution of drinking, potable and waste water. Our solutions ensure clean water and sanitation for millions of households worldwide and focus on efficient water use and water savings. For example the Airfix vessel, an expansion vessel for domestic hot water that saves up to 1,200 litres of drinking water per household per year when installed.

The materials used in the distribution systems are of a significant importance. A high potable water quality begins with the planning and the selection of the right material. Chemical substances must not be present in concentrations that are harmful to human health. For example, lead in drinking water can be harmful for humans and more in particular for children. We address such topics by offering alternatives, like lead free piping systems. Obviously, our piping systems have all major national and international quality certifications and approvals in this respect, such as NSF/ANSI, KIWA, DVGW and qualify for green building rating systems like LEED and BREEAM. In addition, we offer technologies to protect and improve water quality including  filtration, purification and softening.

From the heat source to emission to distribution of heating or cooling, Aalberts hydronic flow control covers a broad spectrum of mission-critical building technology systems that ake residential, commercial and industrial buildings eco-friendly. Our technologies provide improved energy efficiency through hardware products such as balancing valves and air dirt separators and by digitised products and services such as intelligent thermostats, smart radiator heads and remote services. Our air and dirt separators for example can save up to 15% in energy consumption, our hydronic balancing valves up to 20% and our thermostatic radiator heads up to 12% when installed. We empower the energy transition by providing solutions needed for renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, heat pumps and hydrogen installations. For example, universal mounting systems and expansion vessels for solar powered installations or a thermal battery for domestic water, powered by solar. In addition we have a wide range of technologies for district heating.

Breakthrough innovation is necessary to address large-scale challenges such as ageing economies and climate change, while new, digital solutions are also targeting minor challenges making life easier, for example, through payments or streaming.

Aalberts advanced mechatronics delivers leading-edge innovative, tailor-made and future-proof technologies, enabling the roadmaps and manufacturing challenges of high-tech customers. With our technologies and innovations, we are part of the high-tech infrastructure needed for and enable the technological breakthroughs. We continuously focus on long-term innovation and disciplined investments in R&D.

Aalberts surface technologies partners with leading industrial customers worldwide to develop, produce and finish functional and highly durable surface designs of metals through sophisticated heat and surface treatments. This not only improves their product quality and reliability, it also has a positive impact on the entire lifetime of the manufactured parts (from service to disposal of metal). We also develop and produce high-tech, lightweight aluminum and magnesium components that are both strong and light. They are of great importance for sustainable transportation in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Aalberts hydronic flow control and Aalberts integrated piping systems also apply these lifetime, quality and reliability improvements to their products and innovations. In eco-friendly buildings, longevity of components matters. Our R&D departments engineer with a ‘fit to last’ strategy, focusing on maximising lifetimes of components and solutions.
