Belgium: Spray foam manufacturer, Icynene Inc, has formally opened its first European office in Brussels.
"Over the past 18 months, Icynene has experienced a significant growth in Europe, which we expect to continue at the same pace as we look to new markets in the region. Thermal regulations have become more stringent and are now focused on air-tightness and healthy insulation products. Icynene nicely fits into this new environment and brings alternative solutions to traditional insulation." said Bertrand Lauret, Managing Director of Abington Gate Europe, Icynene contact for Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The office opened on 7 January 2012 following negotiations with the Brussels Science Incubator (BLSI). The office will initially accommodate two staff with an expansion expected later in 2013.
Established in 1986, Icynene builds energy-efficient residential and commercial structures in over 31 countries. Its products include light density open cell and medium density closed cell spray foam insulation for both insulation and air barrier purposes.
