From the idea to the foundation of the company
The company founder Klemens Oskar Waterkotte is the man who in the 1970s invented and established the heat-pump heating.
Since 1970, this pioneer has been heating his own house by means of geothermal energy. In the development process of this innovative technology his well-founded theoretical and professional experience in the field of refrigeration, air-conditioning and process engineering as well as his unerring faith in an environmentally friendly, healthy and at the same time also economical heating system led his way.
And his strategy proved to be correct: The good idea became widely accepted in the market and it is still being nowadays the basis of the success of the company WATERKOTTE which exclusively concentrates on this technology.
