A trip to China with something extra coming home! 🏆 Delighted that Platmech received a VIP Partner Award at the TCL AC Annual Conference in Chongqing, China, with our very own Chairman, Gerry McDonagh, accepting on behalf of the team. It was a great opportunity to catch up with our TCL partners, the TCL Heat Pump team and meet colleagues from around the world and see what’s coming next. Plenty to bring back as we continue to grow our partnership. We also managed a stop in Shanghai along the way, making the most of a brilliant trip to China. Thank you to the TCL team for the warm welcome, generous hospitality and recognition.

Still buzzing from the launch of Haven at Platmech headquarters in Ella House. Over 100 industry professionals joined us for a brilliant evening. We’ve had fantastic feedback since, plenty of conversations and some really interesting meetings. Thanks again to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable event. If you’d like to learn more about Haven for your next apartment project, get in touch. #Platmech #Haven

We might have a bit of an unfair advantage... 🤫 One of the biggest benefits of working so closely with TCL is getting to see what's happening well before it reaches the market. Earlier this year we visited the TCL Heat Pump manufacturing and R&D facilities in China and, to say it was eye-opening would be an understatement. The level of engineering, AI integration, testing and continuous refinement behind every product is incredible. Tiny improvements from across different areas of technology all coming together to push performance that little bit further. But it works both ways. Every day we're talking to consultants, developers, contractors and installers across Ireland and the UK. We see what's working on site, where the challenges are, and what customers actually need. That insight goes straight back to the TCL engineering team, helping connect real-world experience with world-class R&D. That's exactly where we believe the biggest breakthroughs happen. We have our first real world product born of this process coming soon. Follow along to be the first to know 👋 #HeatPumps #HVAC #Innovation #Engineering #TCL #Platmech

50 heat pumps, packed and ready for their journey to a new customer in the UK. In a warehouse, they look like 50 boxes. In reality, they’re 50 homes that will soon be heated more efficiently, with lower energy consumption and significantly lower carbon emissions than traditional fossil fuel systems. It’s another small milestone for Platmech, but another meaningful step in growing our presence in the UK and helping accelerate the transition to cleaner heating. Onwards. #HeatPumps #HVAC #CleanEnergy #SustainableConstruction #UKConstruction #Platmech #TCL

At Platmech we all come from different industries and experiences, but we share the same very simple ethos. Do what you say you are going to do. Simple. The heat pump is important. But knowing there is a team behind it that will answer the phone, work through problems with you and support you throughout the project is what gives people real confidence. The relationships we build with our clients are at the core of everything we do. #Platmech #TCL #HeatPumps #Engineering #Construction #Partnership

Introducing Gerry McDonagh, Chairman of Platmech. Having someone with Gerry’s experience helping shape the direction of Platmech feels like an unfair advantage. Long before heat pumps became part of everyday conversation, he was helping shape Ireland’s refrigeration and HVAC industry from the ground up, designing and building commercial, industrial, and even some residential heat pump systems more than 30 years ago. After founding RSL Ireland in 1967, Gerry spent decades building the business into one of the most respected names in refrigeration, air conditioning and technical HVAC supply across Ireland and the UK. What set RSL apart was never just products. It was technical knowledge, trusted relationships and a reputation built steadily over decades of solving problems for contractors and industry professionals. Following the sale of RSL Group in 2024 (and after a very short retirement - sorry Gerry!), Platmech is fortunate to now have him as Chairman, bringing with him an extraordinary depth of industry experience at a time when heating technology and the wider HVAC sector are evolving faster than ever. From traditional refrigeration systems to the future of R290 heat pumps, he has seen almost every chapter of the industry firsthand and still speaks about where the sector is heading with the same curiosity and enthusiasm that started it all nearly 60 years ago. There’s no substitute for experience like that. #HVAC #HeatPumps #Engineering #Leadership #Platmech
