Climate West

What Climate West does

Climawest NV is a Belgian HVAC installation company founded in March 2000 by Vincent Vanderheyde and Tuur Vanden Abeele, headquartered in Zwevegem, West Flanders. The company designs, installs, and services heating, ventilation, air conditioning (Klimatisatie), sanitary (Sanitair), and Building Management Systems (GBS / Gebouwbeheersysteem) for commercial offices, industrial facilities, retail establishments, and private construction projects in the Flanders region. Operations are run from a 7,000 m² purpose-built facility opened in June 2020 and currently employ more than 50 people.

The company's technical foundation rests on an in-house design bureau (studiebureau) that engineers custom HVAC solutions, combined with its status as a recognized distributor of world-brand HVAC equipment. This allows Climawest to deliver project-specific, custom-engineered installations for commercial and industrial clients rather than standardized packaged offerings. Its GBS offering extends scope per project from mechanical installation into building automation and controls.

Climawest's business model is B2B enterprise field sales with project-based custom pricing and free non-binding quotations, complemented by recurring after-sales service contracts on installed systems. Revenue streams include one-time HVAC installation projects, professional services for preventive and corrective maintenance, and subscription-style service contracts. The company operates as a subsidiary of FRONNT, a publicly listed GIMV-backed holding that bundles multiple technical disciplines, allowing Climawest to participate in integrated multi-trade bids.
