VAPEC, deux siècles d'innovation dans le domaine des chaudières


VAPEC builds upon the renowned legacy of SULZER, a pioneer in electrode boiler technology.

Our expertise is firmly anchored in decades of experience and in the solid foundation established by Sulzer through numerous installations worldwide. Leveraging this heritage, VAPEC continues to deliver innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions for decarbonized industrial heat and district heating.

VAPEC : Un siècle d'ingénierie d'excellence

Our vision

To provide future generations with standardized, sustainable, carbon-free electrical heating solutions, born from a century of expertise, optimized to meet the needs of today's industries and district heating networks.

Our mission

Make reliable, high-performance steam and hot water generators widely available to accelerate the decarbonization of industrial processes and district heating.

Our values

  • Accessibility via standardization
  • CO2 neutrality
  • Industrial reliability
  • Technological continuity
  • Flexibility of use

VAPEC builds on an exceptional technical heritage, born within SULZER, one of the leading names in industrial electrode boilers.

This heritage is not only historical: it is based on more than a thousand boilers delivered worldwide, whose operation over several decades has provided a valuable source of learning.

Thanks to this unique feedback, VAPEC now has in-depth knowledge of the actual behavior of these installations in a wide variety of industrial, climatic, and regulatory contexts. Building on these solid foundations, the company has developed its own expertise and advanced the technology to meet contemporary requirements. This evolution is reflected in a detailed mastery of two key areas :

  • District heating networks decarbonization, where electrode boilers offer adjustable power, rapid response times, and easy integration into multi-energy systems ;
  • Carbon-free steam production for industrial processes, enabling sites to drastically reduce their carbon footprint while benefiting from a reliable, precise, and easy-to-use source of steam.

The experience it has accumulated and its dynamic approach to innovation now place VAPEC at the heart of the energy transition. This enables it to offer proven, high-performance, scalable solutions that can support both district heating network operators and industrial companies in their transition to cleaner, more flexible, and resolutely forward-looking infrastructure.
