Vaillant Opens New Manufacturing Plant in Derby

UK: Vaillant has opened a GBP 40 million (USD 50.7 million) manufacturing facility in Derby, creating 200 jobs. The 12,200 sq m plant, located at Indurent Park, will produce hot water cylinders, including the uniSTOR high-recovery range, which is set to begin production next month. The facility includes manufacturing and warehousing space and incorporates sustainability features such as rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient lighting, and heat pump technology. 

The company, which employs 17,000 people globally, has expanded its UK manufacturing operations to meet the increasing demand for low-carbon heating solutions. In 2022, it launched the UK’s first boiler manufacturer-led heat pump plant. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband acknowledged the plant’s contribution to local employment and the UK’s low-carbon transition, while Vaillant Group UK’s plant director, Joe Dunn, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to Derbyshire and its continued investment in sustainable heating technology.
