Founded in 1994 in Latvia, BELSS is a leading military integrator offering a comprehensive range of services, from consulting to complex technical projects. With a team of approximately 100 specialists, the company provides telecommunications solutions, satellite communications, camp design and construction, and engineering works for both military and civilian sectors across Europe.

Close partnership builds better military camps

A collaborative effort between military integrator and Dantherm ensures comfortable living conditions for military personnel: Since 2018, BELSS has collaborated with Dantherm to provide high-end climate solutions tailored for military field camp projects. This partnership underscores BELSS’s commitment to ensuring that end-users can focus on their missions in comfort, regardless of weather conditions.

Meeting NATO standards for climate solutions

Kārlis Mucenieks, Project Manager at BELSS, articulates the core philosophy of the company: "Our goal is to create seamless and comfortable environments for our end-users. By selecting high-quality, reliable, and easy-to-operate equipment, we ensure that our clients can focus on their missions without distraction. That’s the best way to ensure that we will continue to be their first-choice provider, and that’s why we set very strict requirements for our suppliers.”

In line with this philosophy, Dantherm supplies portable heaters and cooling systems adhering to NATO standards, which encompass rigorous specifications for weight, dimensions, operational range, robustness, and more, so the climate control systems can be deployed in tent camps across the world.

The units function efficiently in temperatures from -40 °C to +45 °C. They not only regulate temperature but also reduce relative humidity inside tents to approximately 40%. With noise-reduced designs and straightforward setup processes, Dantherm’s solutions enhance the efficiency and comfort of military personnel by ensuring a steady supply of warm and fresh air through well-distributed ducts, regulated via thermostats.

Mucenieks highlights the critical aspects BELSS considers when selecting a climate solutions supplier:

  • Reliability: Dantherm has established itself as a trusted name in military climate control, focusing on durable systems.
  • Ease of use: Equipment that is simple to operate is essential for efficiency.
  • Minimal maintenance: Quick installation and low maintenance demands save time and effort for users.
  • Cost efficiency: Customers need assurance that their investment will yield exceptional performance while minimising energy consumption.
  • Rugged design and portability: Equipment must endure harsh conditions and be easily transportable across challenging terrains.

A trusted partnership

The first Dantherm units ordered by BELSS remain in operation today, a testament to their durability and effectiveness. To provide superior support, BELSS’s service personnel have undergone extensive training on Dantherm products, including courses at the company’s factory in Denmark. This commitment to understanding the equipment has made Dantherm a trusted partner, enabling BELSS to perform servicing and maintenance from their workshop in Riga as though they had manufactured the units themselves.

Mucenieks states: “We are very satisfied with the cooperation with Dantherm. Not only do they deliver high-end, NATO-compliant solutions, but they are also very responsive and allow us to educate ourselves on their products. This attitude helps us become the preferred supplier for our customers.”

Kim Mathiassen, Area Sales Manager at Dantherm, adds: “Having a demanding business partner like BELSS sharpens our focus on essential capabilities. We welcome the feedback we receive because the BELSS team works hands-on with our products throughout the entire value chain, from delivery to installation and service. Their proficiency makes it very easy to do business with them.”
