Overview

Panasonic HVAC & CC Systems Co., Ltd. is a Panasonic Group company headquartered in Sumida, Tokyo, that supplies commercial equipment and total services for air-conditioning, refrigeration and the cold chain. Its business is framed by the company around three everyday essentials — air, water and food — which it describes as the invisible infrastructure of daily life and industry. The product and solution range spans residential air conditioners for individuals through to commercial air-conditioning and food-system equipment for corporate customers, including cooling showcases for convenience stores and supermarkets, commercial refrigerators and freezers for restaurant kitchens, air-conditioning equipment for office buildings and large facilities, and energy products such as solar-power systems and LED lighting. The company's roots go back to 1993, when it was established as Sanyo Electric Industrial Systems. It was renamed Panasonic ES Industrial Systems in April 2012, and in April 2015 it merged with Panasonic Food Appliances to form Panasonic Commercial Equipment Systems. On 1 April 2026 it was reorganized as Panasonic HVAC & CC, absorbing the CAC division of Panasonic's Air Quality and Air Conditioning company and the cold-chain division of its Cold Chain Solutions company, merging with Panasonic AP Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Equipment, and changing its name to Panasonic HVAC & CC Systems Co., Ltd. The company organizes its operations into several business lines: home air conditioners; A2W and water solutions (Eco Cute heat-pump water heaters, air-to-water heat pumps and electric home showers); IAQ (ventilation fans, circulators, air purifiers and pumps); air-conditioning devices (compressors); cold chain (refrigerated and frozen showcases, refrigeration machines, kitchen equipment, prefabricated units and logistics equipment); commercial air conditioning (CAC); and engineering. Its environmental and social agenda includes expanding the use of natural refrigerants, reducing CO2 emissions across the product lifecycle, accelerating resource-circulating manufacturing, contributing to clean and safe air and public-health infrastructure in emerging markets, and researching how air quality, humidity and airflow affect wellbeing under the theme of creating health from air. Recent news from the company includes the start of full-scale delivery of commercial microwave convection ovens to 7-Eleven stores across Japan, the rollout of an outdoor-installed CO2-refrigerant non-fluorocarbon refrigeration unit to the Singapore market, the launch of the F-PX55D air purifier, the addition of a cold-region model to its Eco Cute line equipped with ultra-fine bubbles, and 14 Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 wins across the Panasonic Group, including two Best of the Best awards. The company also maintains a disaster-related repair-response notice for commercial air-conditioning and food-system equipment.

History

The company's history is traced by Panasonic HVAC & CC back to 1909, the starting point of the Panasonic Group's wider heritage, and its own corporate lineage begins in 1993 when it was established as Sanyo Electric Industrial Systems (三洋電機産機システム). In 2009, the sales of Sanyo Electric Group's commercial equipment businesses — including commercial refrigerators and freezers, kitchen equipment and large-store refrigerated showcases — were integrated into the company. In April 2012 it changed its name to Panasonic ES Industrial Systems Co., Ltd. (パナソニックES産機システム株式会社). In April 2015, Panasonic ES Industrial Systems — responsible for cold chain, large-scale air conditioning and energy products such as solar power systems — was merged with Panasonic Food Appliances (formerly Matsushita Food Systems), which handled beverage vending machines, commercial microwave ovens and rice cookers, to form Panasonic Commercial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd. (パナソニック産機システムズ). This created a combined commercial-equipment business spanning cold chain, air conditioning, energy and food-service appliances. In December 2021 the company ended parts supply and repair support for commercial heating and cooking products manufactured by the former Sanyo Electric, and in June 2022 it ended parts supply and repair support for former Sanyo Electric laundry equipment. On 1 April 2026, the company absorbed by company split the CAC division of Panasonic's Air Quality and Air Conditioning company and the cold-chain division of its Cold Chain Solutions company, merged with Panasonic AP Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Equipment, and simultaneously changed its trade name to Panasonic HVAC & CC Systems Co., Ltd. (パナソニックHVAC&CCシステムズ株式会社), beginning operations as Panasonic HVAC & CC. Today the company presents itself as a provider of systems for air, water and food, serving homes, workplaces, factories and stores. Its business history is organized around home air conditioners; A2W and water solutions including Eco Cute, air-to-water heat pumps and electric home showers; IAQ products such as ventilation fans, circulators, air purifiers and pumps; air-conditioning devices such as compressors; cold chain including refrigerated and frozen showcases, refrigeration machines, kitchen equipment, prefabricated units and logistics equipment; commercial air conditioning (CAC); and engineering. Its environmental efforts emphasize expanding natural refrigerants, reducing CO2 emissions across the product lifecycle and accelerating resource-circulating manufacturing, while its social and health efforts focus on clean, safe air, public-health infrastructure in emerging markets and scientific verification of how air quality, humidity and airflow contribute to wellbeing.
