NIBE as a Brand

About NIBE

NIBE UK is part of the global NIBE Group, turning over >£3bn each year. For over 70 years, NIBE has been manufacturing energy-efficient and sustainable climate solutions for all kinds of properties. NIBE was founded in Markaryd, Sweden, where our factories and production are still based today. We value our Nordic heritage and all our products are manufactured to be able to tackle the toughest of Nordic weather.

NIBE HQ is still based out of Markaryd, Sweden, a small town in the Kronoberg County. NIBE and Markaryd have become one and the same, with many local residents working for NIBE and the production facilities spanning large areas of the town. NIBE is the biggest employer in the town and it’s not uncommon to see members of the same family working at NIBE.

A majority of the imagery used by the NIBE Group comes from the lakes, forests and fields surrounding Markaryd, ensuring we’re always grounded in the roots of where the company originates.

Systems are optimised for both heating and hot water, lowering running costs for households.

By reducing energy use, customers also cut their carbon footprint – meeting both financial and environmental goals.

Best controller on the market

It offers the largest PV inverter integration of any manufacturer.

An AI-driven machine learning algorithm automatically adjusts the heat pumps settings to the building’s requirements.

Open integration with third-party systems (e.g. solar PV inverters, external heat sources) is enabled through Modbus and other communication standards.

Over-the-air updates ensure systems are always running the latest features and performance improvements.

Multiple heat pumps can be cascaded with ease, or new models integrated into existing systems.
