Vasco Group

What Vasco Group does

Vasco is a European manufacturer of indoor climate solutions specializing in designer radiators, panel radiators, bathroom radiators, heat pumps, smart ventilation systems, and fan coil units. The company serves two primary customer segments: private individuals seeking design-led, energy-efficient home heating solutions for rooms such as bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms; and professionals — including installers, contractors, and project developers — requiring reliable, scalable HVAC systems for commercial and residential projects. Its underlying technology centers on conventional hydronic and electric radiator platforms extended to low-temperature, heat-pump-compatible operation, alongside mechanical and 'smart' ventilation systems marketed under a 'dynamic ecosystem' narrative. The Brugman panel-radiator sub-brand and a multilingual product configurator (for heat-load calculation and product selection) round out the offering. Vasco generates revenue almost entirely through hardware sales of radiators and ventilation systems, distributed via an authorized dealer network across Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, and Italy, complemented by a direct-to-consumer webshop for accessories and direct field sales for enterprise / project customers (e.g., hospitality). Vasco operates as a subsidiary of MBT Climate Benelux nv following Midea Group's February 2025 completion of the ARBONIA Climate acquisition, which placed Vasco — alongside Clivet — under the unified MBT Climate brand inside Midea's global HVAC portfolio.
