RKD is delighted to be working with Xtratherm to deliver a project that has been very well received in the French-speaking Walloon region of Belgium.
Wallonia Foreign Trade and Economics Minister, Jean-Claude Marcourt said, “A new investment in Wallonia is always excellent news. This one in particular will create quality jobs in our Region, and along with other similar investments clearly gives a renewed impetus to the Region”.

Because of the specialist nature of Xtratherm’s manufacturing process, a Class 1 environmental permit was required for the project. This involved a thorough root-to-branch investigation of the Xtratherm process from raw materials delivery to product shipment including a public hearing, detailed environmental impact assessment and safety report.
