KSB Drives Modernization of China's Heating Sector with Integrated Solutions
MANZHOULI, China – In a city defined by its demanding eight-month heating season, KSB recently hosted the "2025 KSB HVAC & Heating Technology Seminar" to address the critical challenges of system stability and efficiency. Under the theme "Intelligent KSB, Benefiting Every Home," the event highlighted KSB's strategic role in advancing China's heating industry towards a clean, high-efficiency future in line with the nation's "dual carbon" goals.
Addressing Industry Needs with Practical Solutions
China's heating sector is undergoing a significant green transformation, shifting from high-carbon coal to cleaner, more efficient models.
"For over 30 years in China, KSB's mission in the building sector has been to harness the intelligence of pumps and valves to make every building and city greener and more comfortable," said Mr. James Gao, Senior Sales Director of the General Industry & Building Services Business Unit at KSB Shanghai Pump Co., Ltd., in his opening remarks.
Demonstrating this commitment, a roadshow vehicle at the seminar displayed KSB's extensive product portfolio.
From large double-suction pumps for primary heat networks to in-line and make-up pumps for precise system operation, the lineup showcased KSB's deep understanding of the entire heating chain.
These products, representing the best of German engineering, are already proven in numerous key projects across Inner Mongolia and the rest of China.
A Full-Stack Approach: From Advanced Hardware to Cloud Intelligence
