Stiebel Eltron has invested €350,000 into its Ireland headquarters in Blanchardstown, Dublin, to create capacity for its training programme.
The company moved into the Irish market earlier this year as it looks to ramp up operations in Ireland and drive forward the adoption of renewable heating technologies across the country, a statement said.
Holding capacity to train up to 12 installers at any given time, the showroom is equipped with renewable heating technologies including heat pumps, electric hot water heaters, space heating and ventilation products.
Mark McManus, Stiebel Eltron IE managing director, said: “We entered into the Irish market with a view to meet growing demand for renewable heating technologies across the country and the launch of our new showroom and training centre will be essential in doing that.
“As demand for heat pumps and other renewable heating technologies continues to increase, there is a growing need for industry professionals who have comprehensive knowledge of how they work, how they are installed, and how they are maintained.
“A core component of Stiebel Eltron IE’s training is that it caters for all, whether it is those who are just starting out or more seasoned installers. No matter what level, our programme is designed to deliver both technical and practical hands-on experience.
“We were delighted to welcome the first round of trainees through our doors recently. Moving forward, we’re looking forward to further delivering a world-class trainee scheme which will inspire Ireland’s installers to drive the country’s heat pump market forward.”
