Construction at the Herstal site is set to begin in summer 2025, pending final Grant Agreement, with the facility expected to be operational by early 2027. The project includes a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade over two years, focusing on building a new modular facility capable of producing up to 50 MW of industrial high-temperature heat pumps by 2027. This initiative will also scale the advanced technology developed with Armstrong’s joint venture partner, Combitherm GmbH, expanding capabilities to include direct low-pressure steam generation.

“We are proud to be part of a portfolio of innovative projects driving sustainable industrial transformation across Europe,” added Kurt Armstrong. “But this expansion is also part of Armstrong’s broader program to increase production of industrial high-temperature heat pumps across the world. The Herstal facility complements our expanding manufacturing capabilities in the United States and India as well as existing operations in China and Mexico.”

By 2027, Armstrong’s worldwide manufacturing capacity for industrial high-temperature heat pumps is set to exceed 200 MW, positioning the company to meet growing global demand for decarbonization solutions.

“We are deeply grateful to our customers, the authorities of the Wallonia region, and other partners for their support. These endorsements were crucial in demonstrating the alignment of our vision across private companies, public authorities, academic institutions, and industry associations,” Ivanov added. “The Armstrong team is fully dedicated to delivering the results of this project, contributing to efficient electrification as part of the energy transition, and positively impacting local employment-not only in Belgium but also across Europe where industrial transformations will take place.”
