About Evactube
We built this before.
In 2005, we built the first containerised biodiesel factories. Holland. Spain. Canada. We shipped them worldwide. We were on the cover of Biodiesel Magazine. CNN. Dutch TV.
Then we walked away.
Not because the technology failed. Because of feedstock. Oil for food, not for fuel. The economics never closed. We saw it coming before most people did.
Why Evactube
Evactube is the next chapter. We are applying the same engineering discipline, the same manufacturing experience, and the same refusal to accept "it can't be done" — this time to heating, not fuel.
Our focus is simple:
- Turnkey solar thermal systems for homes, rental apartments, and small buildings
- Cold-climate proven — our evacuated tube technology has been deployed in Antarctica research stations at −40°C
- Add-on, not replacement — our systems feed a radiator or pre-heat the return line, reducing the heating bill without touching the existing system
- Designed for renters and landlords — removable, non-destructive mounting; no drilling; no VvE battles
- Built in Europe — assembled and tested in the Netherlands, with components sourced through our existing international trade corridors
What we bring
We are not a startup learning on your dime. We have done this before:
- Manufacturing at scale — containerised factories, shipped and commissioned worldwide
- International trade — sourcing, logistics, compliance, and distribution across Europe, North America, and Asia
- Renewable energy — biodiesel, algae, solar thermal; we understand the physics, the subsidies, and the B2B buyers
- Build, scale, exit — we have built companies to million-euro scale and exited in around three years
What we believe
Heating is the next frontier. Energy prices are rising structurally. Renters are stuck. Landlords are under pressure. Governments are slow. The technology to make a real difference already exists — it just hasn't been packaged properly.
That is what Evactube is here to do.
Let's talk
If you are a housing corporation, VvE, municipality, installer, or distributor — and you want to reduce heating costs for the buildings you manage — we would like to hear from you.
