Strategic alliance of ECOTHERM and Jeremias
On 30th of November ECOTHERM Austria GmbH from Hartkirchen, Austria, sealed a strategic alliance with Jeremias GmbH based in Wassertrüdingen, Germany. As of now the cooperation at individual turnkey solar, hot water and steam systems is intensified especially in the Middle East. The aim is to offer together high quality solutions made of stainless steel. “Jeremias has already delivered stainless steel chimneys for some ECOTHERM projects. Now we integrate Jeremias as fixed part of the ECOTHERM Academy for the training of our employees,” says Herbert Bremstaller, CEO and founder of ECOTHERM Austria GmbH. “Our companies have many similarities. So we want to interconnect our design software with the one from ECOTHERM. This will improve designing plants in future,” explains Wolfgang Geiser, CFO of Jeremias GmbH. Moreover additional common communication activities are planned. The cooperation has been fixed after the mounting of a Jeremias chimney in the ECOTHERM headquarters in Hartkirchen. The stainless steel chimney is part of a steam system, which is used for the test plant.
Valuable partnership
“Partnership is one of the key values of ECOTHERM. In addition as a family business we operate based on long-term considerations. Therefore we focus on strategic cooperations such as with Jeremias, to sustainably improve our products and services,“ says Bremstaller. From now on there are fixed training modules in the ECOTHERM Academy – so called ECOCELLS -, that provide technical know-how about Jeremias chimney systems at different knowledge levels. All ECOTHERM sales engineers have to complete these. In addition, corresponding sales documents are created.
Perfect symbiosis
“The cooperation of the previous projects has proven that Jeremias and ECOTHERM have many similarities. It begins at the key values – quality and innovation mark our daily business – and ends with the individual production,” explains Geiser his motivation for this alliance. Jeremias has already developed a design software for chimneys and exhaust systems. This software will now be interconnected with the planning program “ECOSIZE” of ECOTHERM. This means that in future all worldwide partners of ECOTHERM can easily and independently design small hot water or steam systems, including the exhaust system.
