Clivet establishes its new European Hub in Milan-Bicocca
Air-conditioning and heat pump manufacturer Clivet has opened new eco-sustainable offices in Milan-Bicocca, to serve as the hub for its activities in Europe. The new facility is situated on the first floor of the 100-metre long horizontal sustainable skyscraper, made of iron, glass and with transparent rubber external finishes. It was created through the redevelopment of an old industrial building and is powered only by renewable sources.
The new headquarters will be dedicated to exporting the Italian brand and heat pump technology throughout Europe.
The CEO of Clivet SpA, Stefano Bellò, commented: “For the offices of our European Hub, we chose SuperLab considering the ability of this structure to best meet our needs. The building has features that reflect Clivet’s DNA and our principles of sustainability and total well-being. First and foremost, I refer to the Leed Gold certification for energy performance and the ecological quality of the interiors, the resources and materials used, such as the recycled elements from the silicone rubber of the façade. The structure is also completely carbon free. We believe it is the space with the right characteristics to represent the international expansion that is among our main goals.”
The European Hub currently houses 16 employees, which, according to the company’s plans, will grow to around 70 by next year. The main focus will be given to research and development activities, and another R&D hub will be opened in Padua during 2023. Part of the facility will also be used as a training centre for professionals working with Clivet at an international level, with a special area equipped for tests and simulations.
The company’s expansion plans in Europe will also be supported by the construction in Feltre of a new 30,000m² factory dedicated to the production of heat pumps, with 300 new employees to be hired during 2024.
