Emmeti: hydronic systems and EPD coverage snapshot
Specifiers keep asking for verifiable carbon data. Emmeti, a Purmo Group brand, sells widely across hydronic piping, manifolds, valves and heat generation. The question buyers care about is simple: which of those lines already carry Environmental Product Declarations, and where are the gaps that can stall a bid or get a product swapped late in design.
Who Emmeti is, in short
Emmeti operates as a commercial brand of Purmo Group, acquired in 2015, with manufacturing concentrated in Italy and a broad European sales footprint (Emmeti, 2025). Their site positions the brand around complete indoor‑climate solutions and continuous quality improvement, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications. See their sustainability and policy overview here: Quality and Environment.
What they actually sell
Emmeti’s catalog spans hydronic distribution and generation. Think multilayer pipes and press fittings for water and gas, underfloor heating panels and insulation, manifolds and control valves, heat metering, thermostatic controls, plus heat pumps, condensing boilers, solar thermal kits and split AC. Across Europe this totals hundreds of SKUs, not a niche line. They are not a pure play in one component, they cover the whole room‑to‑plant loop.
What has EPDs today
Publicly available EPDs for the Purmo family include press fittings that align to Emmeti’s Gerpex system, multilayer composite piping, select balancing valves and radiant floor insulation, as well as towel warmers and steel panel radiators. Purmo states it is providing EPDs for 33 mm steel panel radiators and PE‑RT and PE‑Xc pipes, with a plan to offer an EPD by default for all new products launched from 2025 onward (Purmo Group, 2025). Many of these documents are published with EPD Hub and are easy for specifiers to download from Purmo’s library (Purmo Group, 2025).
Where the gaps likely are
We did not find public, product‑specific EPDs for Emmeti‑brand heat pumps, condensing boilers or split AC as of December 11, 2025. There may be internal work underway, but absence in public libraries can still slow specifications in projects that score or screen on embodied‑carbon disclosures. Manifolds and certain smart controls also appear under‑documented compared to piping and fittings.
One gap that could cost specs
Air‑to‑water heat pumps look like a flagship line for Emmeti’s residential and light‑commercial offer. Multiple rivals already publish declarations for comparable units, for example Vaillant’s aroTHERM plus via PEP Ecopassport, published in 2024 and valid to 2029 (PEP Ecopassport, 2024) and Daikin’s Altherma series, verified in 2022 and valid to 2027 (PEP Ecopassport, 2022). On projects where teams must account for embodied carbon, a model without a product‑specific EPD often faces a penalty in the math, so it gets sidelined early even if performance is strong.
The spec battlefield they meet
For hydronic distribution, Emmeti frequently squares off with Uponor, Rehau, TECE, Viega, Giacomini, Geberit and Henco. In generation and terminal units, common alternatives include Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Vaillant, Viessmann, Bosch and NIBE. When these competitors surface EPDs at submittal time, they remove friction. The choice tilts toward the product that preserves points and simplifies carbon accounting.
What good looks like in coverage
Winning brands tend to sequence EPDs by commercial impact. Start with high‑volume pipe families and matched fittings, then manifolds and balancing valves, then heat pumps and boilers. Bundle variants into families where the same PCR applies, document one reference SKU per family, then extend. Pick the program operator that matches priority markets and buyer habits, for example EPD Hub in Europe or another operator when clients request it. Purmo’s public target to ship new products with default EPDs from 2025 is the right north star, now it is about closing the legacy backlog (Purmo Group, 2025).
Practical playbook to close the gaps fast
Collect one clean reference year of plant data, then structure BOMs so they map neatly to the chosen PCR. For complex assemblies like heat pumps, lock the supplier data early and treat firmware and packaging consistently across variants. The heavy lift is usually cross‑site data wrangling, not modeling. Teams that make the collection painless win on time to publication and keep engineering focused on design work, not spreadsheets. It sounds obvious, but it is the difference between six weeks and six months in real life, and that is definately visible in bid calendars.
Final take
Emmeti covers a lot of ground in hydronics, with EPDs already live for core distribution elements and emitters, and enviromental credentials outlined across the group. The commercial upside now sits in equipment categories. Publishing product‑specific EPDs for heat pumps and boilers would eliminate a recurring barrier in carbon‑screened tenders and keep Emmeti’s systems specified together, pipe to plant. That is how you stop late swaps and protect margin when projects get tight on embodied‑carbon targets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Emmeti have a group-level commitment to expand EPD coverage?
Yes. Purmo Group, which owns Emmeti, states it aims to provide an EPD by default for all new products launched from 2025 onward, and already lists EPDs for 33 mm steel panel radiators and PE‑RT and PE‑Xc pipes (Purmo Group, 2025).
Which Emmeti product families most clearly have EPDs today?
Press fittings and multilayer piping aligned with the Gerpex system, select balancing valves and radiant floor insulation, plus steel panel radiators and towel warmers. Purmo directs users to EPD Hub to download these files (Purmo Group, 2025).
Where are the biggest EPD gaps for Emmeti right now?
Public heat‑pump and boiler EPDs are hard to find as of December 11, 2025. Competitors such as Vaillant and Daikin already show verified declarations for air‑to‑water heat pumps, which can help them win on projects that prefer or require EPDs (PEP Ecopassport, 2024, PEP Ecopassport, 2022).
