Daikin Applied Germany has acquired Ganter Kälte- und Wärmetechnik GmbH, a specialist in the design, installation and servicing of cooling and heating systems. Effective 2 October 2026, the acquisition expands Daikin’s technical expertise and service capabilities for industrial applications and supports its development as a provider of integrated equipment and lifecycle services.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Holzgerlingen, Germany, Ganter employs 27 people. Its services include system design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair for comfort air conditioning and industrial applications. The acquisition strengthens Daikin Applied Germany’s presence in the Stuttgart region and expands support for new installations and the modernisation of existing systems.
The expanded service capabilities address growing requirements for heat pump integration and maintenance in industrial and district heating applications. Germany has more than 35,000 kilometres (approximately 21,748 miles) of district heating networks, predominantly supplied by fossil fuels. The country’s Heat Planning Act предусматриes increasing shares of renewable energy and unavoidable waste heat, supporting the integration of technologies such as heat pumps.
The acquisition follows Daikin Applied Germany’s expansion through Kältetechnik Aircool GmbH, acquired in 2017, and UNI Klima- und Gebäudetechnik GmbH, which joined in 2021. Since 2026, the company has also provided nationwide rental services for chillers and heat pumps, covering emergencies, planned maintenance and temporary requirements.
The transaction supports Daikin Group’s FUSION 30 strategic plan, which prioritises integrated solutions and service business expansion. Daikin Applied Europe reported revenue of €504 million (approximately US$580 million) for the financial year ending March 2026, an increase of 7% compared with the previous year.
