Armstrong International Acquires HygroTemp to Expand De-steamed Humidification Solutions

Armstrong International – EMEA has acquired HygroTemp, a Netherlands-based leader in humidity control solutions

/EIN News/ -- HERSTAL, Belgium, Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armstrong International – Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), the continental entity of the global thermal energy solutions provider Armstrong International, has acquired HygroTemp, a Netherlands-based leader in humidity control solutions.

HygroTemp has worked closely with Armstrong – EMEA’s Humidification Group in the Netherlands since 2007. Together they promote key technologies like the EvaPack™, a hygienic and controlled evaporation solution manufactured by Armstrong EMEA’s subsidiary, Devatec, located in Normandy (France).

HygroTemp’s former owner and managing director, Rolf Bosscher, will support Armstrong’s European Humidification team in further developing and promoting the EvaPack™ technology. He will also continue to be HygroTemp’s business development manager.

“Our clients are entering into a transition from steam humidification towards adiabatic humidification and free cooling, thus facilitating decarbonization thanks to lower evaporation temperature,” said Rossen Ivanov, managing director of Armstrong International – EMEA. “HygroTemp has played a key role in introducing this new technology to companies in healthcare, pharmaceutical, electronics and data-center market segments, among others.”

Jean-François Frambot, Armstrong International’s global director of humidification and general manager of Devatec, will take on the role of general manager at HygroTemp. He said, “This acquisition strengthens our position in The Netherlands and supports expansion into other European markets, where the demand for hygienic adiabatic humidification and free cooling solutions is growing.”

This acquisition underscores Armstrong International’s continued investment in sustainable, innovative technologies that foster thermal energy-efficiency, decarbonization and long-term growth.
