VIESSMANN SALE Is the heating law driving the economy out of the country?
No green economic miracle! Ironically, Germany's heating giant Viessmann is selling its heat pump division to US competitor "Carrier Global" - one week after the government decision to heat hammer (ban on gas and oil heating)! Green party leader Ricarda Lang (29) was still raving in March that the heat pump compulsion pushed through by the eco-party would bring a "huge ramp-up for industry here in Germany". Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! Company boss and heir Max Viessmann (33) admits in BILD: "Yes, the heating law played a role in the sale." Because: "Industrial size" is an "important success factor" for Viessmann under the new conditions. In plain language this means: medium-sized companies like Viessmann are overwhelmed with the mega heat pump plan (half a million/year)! Heat pump production (air conditioning division) recently accounted for 85 percent of Viessmann's sales. So why take this...
