Demand for the main product groups of Halton has grown considerably over the last few years. The new factory beginning production in Kausala, Finland, increases production capacity and brings flexibility particularly to the manufacture of chilled beams.

Over the last few years, the turnover of the Halton Group has grown by nearly 20% a year as a consequence of the rapid positive development in all of Halton’s business areas. The popularity of life-cycle-efficient solutions has increased at a rapid pace in all major markets. The investments in chilled beam production made in Kausala nearly doubled Halton’s production capacity. In addition, Halton has launched licence manufacturing in Europe and Australia in order to meet the increased demand. “The new factory in Kausala is a continuation of the investments we have been making. The factory brings flexibility and increased capacity for production. It enables us to offer our clients faster and more flexible beam deliveries,” said Bengt Avellan, director of the Halton Indoors business unit.

The investment also enables future growth for the product groups manufactured in Kausala. Despite the current uncertainty in the economy, active construction work continues in many markets. In addition, the demand for life-cycle-efficient solutions is growing, reveals the company’s press release. ‘We have continued to develop indoor technologies, such as the Halton AdaptableClimate solution. We also received significant orders in several product groups in our strong market areas as well as from new markets last year. We believe that the strong growth will continue in the coming year,’ said Avellan.
