Our take
VARM specializes in improving home insulation through advanced air-gap technology. By making air-gap insulation more effective, VARM aims to provide a better solution for both homeowners and businesses looking to improve energy efficiency.
VARM also addresses a significant challenge in the industry - the shortage of skilled insulation installers. It connects local independent workers with its insulation technologies, helping to scale up insulation efforts. This approach not only improves the accessibility to high-quality insulation but also creates opportunities for skilled workers in the field.
A recent addition of funding positions the company well to expand its "Cloud Installers" initiative, a program designed to train and empower new installers. With this financial boost, VARM plans to advance its mission of making insulation more accessible and affordable, ultimately aiming to reduce energy consumption and emissions across Europe.
