“ Our key products and services , today , are centered around the distribution networks for district heating and cooling , and industrial applications that require environmentally friendly insulated pipe systems ,” he continues , “ for which we also provide digital solutions that enable our customers to monitor their networks ’ health post installation . Despite being a historic member and thought leader of our sector , we must continue to challenge ourselves to create value and bring solutions to our clients . We are always happy to hear our customers praising the high quality of our products and the level of service that we provide , but we take great pride in never stopping or resting on our laurels .
“ There are currently seven LOGSTOR factories across Europe , which are complemented by 15-to-20 sales offices , and a number of distributors . Although we do have some operations in the Middle East , the US and Canada , we are so busy with our commitments to the European energy transition that our appetite for work elsewhere has been quelled for the time being . Many countries , cities and governments around the world are looking
at how best to transition from fossil fuels , particularly gas , to more sustainable and renewable options . These include everything from geothermal solutions , waste heat , and biomass , to heat pumps working with sea water , or industrial waste energy . We are in the midst of all of these heat sources , as the answer to how to connect them into the grid .”
Double-digit growth
In 2022 , LOGSTORE experienced 35 percent growth , however Andrzej attributes at least part of this to Europe ’ s current economic climate : “ Such annual growth is incredibly high for what we would have expected , but it ’ s not all necessarily what we would call volume growth . Almost half of this was the result of the inflationary climate that we ’ re operating in , as we all experienced a sizable increase in steel , chemicals , and other raw materials throughout the year . But regardless , the business is still into double-digit growth , which is a completely new phenomenon for us .
“ Five years ago , we were a reasonably small and flat , single-digit growth enterprise ,” he adds . “ So now , our primary goal is to expand .
