Founded in Aalborg, Denmark in 1988, Aalborg CSP has built its position on advanced thermal engineering, with particular depth in steam generation, concentrated solar power applications and molten salt systems. From 2011, the company expanded its activities into district heating solutions, building first on solar thermal before adding heat pump systems and PTES lid technology. Over time, these activities developed into a strong and independent business with its own market profile, customer base and growth trajectory, making a transition to dedicated ownership a natural next step.
The Low Temperature Division will now continue independently under the name Aalborg Heating & Cooling Systems, acquired and fully owned by Alois Müller Beteiligungs GmbH. 18 employees will transfer to the new company, with daily management led by Jes Donneborg.
Aalborg CSP, led by CEO Peter Badstue Jensen, will continue with approximately 30 employees across its offices in Denmark and Spain, including the BK Engineering department and its joint venture with Alfa Laval.
The company operates as a pure engineering firm: from feasibility and concept development through system design, technology development and owners engineering to construction support and plant operations. It works across three areas: engineering for power generation and industry, technology development and R&D, and engineering services for technology owners and other engineering companies.
The company brings close to four decades of hands-on experience designing and delivering mid- and high-temperature thermal systems across five continents. That engineering depth spans the five markets where Aalborg CSP works today: coal plant repurposing, oil and gas electrification, renewable energy storage, industrial process heat, and nuclear thermal integration, supported by work from some of the most active molten salt and thermal storage R&D programmes in Europe.
"This agreement allows each business to focus on what it does best," says Peter Badstue Jensen, CEO. "The energy transition is full of first-of-their-kind projects, and thermal integration is where many of them become complex. Aalborg CSP brings close to four decades of delivery experience and active R&D to exactly these challenges, as independent engineers who have solved similar integration problems across a wide range of technologies and industries. That is a rare combination, and it is what we are now fully focused on."
For existing customers and partners, the transition means continuity. The same teams, projects and technical expertise remain in place on both sides.
Financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
