Daikin Airconditioning Germany GmbH

Daikin Airconditioning Germany GmbH is the German sales and service subsidiary of Daikin Europe N.V., itself the European arm of Japan's Daikin Industries, Ltd. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Unterhaching near Munich, the company markets heating systems, heat pumps and air conditioners for private households, commercial buildings and industry. For commercial and industrial clients it also offers ventilation systems, chillers and large heat pumps. The German operation employs around 650 people and is part of a group that positions itself as a leading provider in heating, air conditioning, ventilation, air purification and refrigeration worldwide. The German website presents modern cooling and heating solutions designed to adapt to everyday life and save energy. Its most visible product categories for private customers are heat pumps, air conditioners and air purifiers. The company promotes heat pumps on grounds including property value, energy savings, state subsidies, future regulations, environmental friendliness and intelligent energy use. It also highlights that a heat pump can improve a home's energy performance certificate rating, increase comfort and raise sale or rental value. Daikin's European product lines include the Altherma series for residential heat pumps and the VRV system for commercial applications. The Altherma series is described as one of Europe's best-selling heat pump systems, with more than 1.3 million units sold. Daikin Europe follows a 'from Europe for Europe' local-supply strategy, producing air-to-water heat pumps for private households entirely in European plants. In late 2024 a new research and development centre opened in Ghent, Belgium, with 30,600 square metres of space including offices and a test centre with 23 test chambers. Daikin Airconditioning Germany operates under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, reflecting quality management and environmental management standards. Its press activities cover topics such as split air conditioners becoming more necessary during heatwaves, hygienic hot water and energy efficiency, planning air conditioning before summer heat, the German Building Energy Act, expansion of the Altherma 4 H heat pump range, air conditioning as part of heat protection plans, and the role of heat pumps as a key technology. The German subsidiary thus combines a broad residential product portfolio with commercial and industrial HVAC-R solutions, backed by the global Daikin group's manufacturing, research and acquisition strategy.

Daikin Airconditioning Germany GmbH was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Unterhaching near Munich.

It is part of a group that describes itself as one of the leading providers in heating, air conditioning, ventilation, air purification and refrigeration, with products and services found in private households as well as in commerce and industry worldwide. Daikin emphasises environmental friendliness and sustainability in product development and states that it is proud to take a pioneering role on the path to a climate-neutral society. Its refrigeration systems are said to help improve the CO2 balance of cold chains and avoid food waste. Daikin Europe has expanded its commercial and industrial refrigeration portfolio through acquisitions: Zanotti S.p.A. (Italy, 2016), specialising in industrial cooling and transport refrigeration; Tewis Smart Systems S.L. (Spain, 2018), a provider of standardised and customised refrigeration solutions; and AHT Cooling Systems GmbH (Austria, 2019), a manufacturer of commercial refrigeration and freezer units for food retail. These acquisitions strengthened Daikin's position as a provider of holistic solutions along the entire cold chain. In Europe, Daikin follows a local-supply strategy ('from Europe for Europe'), manufacturing products for the European market in European plants. Air-to-water heat pumps for private households are produced entirely in European factories. At the end of 2024, a new research and development centre was opened in Ghent, Belgium. The 30,600 square metre building in the University of Ghent science park includes a modern office building and a test centre with 23 state-of-the-art test chambers. Daikin Europe is one of the leading providers of heat pump technology in Europe. Its best-known product lines include Daikin Altherma for private households and Daikin VRV for commercial applications. The Altherma series, with more than 1.3 million units sold, is among the best-selling heat pump systems in Europe. In Germany, the company markets these products alongside air purifiers and ventilation solutions, and it maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. Its German press releases address topics such as the growing need for split air conditioners during heatwaves, hygienic hot water and energy efficiency, planning air conditioning before summer heat, the Building Energy Act, the expansion of the Altherma 4 H range, air conditioning as part of heat protection plans, and the role of heat pumps as a key technology.
