Nordic Climate Group has expanded its presence in Denmark through the addition of Kølegruppen, a company specializing in industrial refrigeration, bakeries, data centers, hotels, and public facilities. The partnership includes three companies - Jysk Køleteknik, Baks Køleservice, and Bundgaard Køleteknik - along with 54 new employees, enhancing Nordic Climate Group's service offerings and operational capacity in Denmark.

“With Kølegruppen on board, Nordic Climate Group isn’t just gaining more locations in Denmark. We’ll also be able to give customers a clearer offering, and the addition of 54 employees is a significant boost for our operations. We’re thrilled to have Kent Hannibal and Kølegruppen as members of our team. With Kent’s leadership, this fast-growing company has delivered high-quality service and customer focus,” said Tue Sjøntoft, Country Manager Denmark for Nordic Climate Group.

Focus on Energy Efficiency and Natural Refrigerants

The partnership emphasizes a shift toward natural refrigerants and energy efficiency. Bundgaard Køleteknik, which joined Kølegruppen in 2015, specializes in propane installations and water cooling, strengthening the group’s expertise in environmentally friendly solutions.

Kølegruppen CEO Kent Hannibal, the company’s primary owner, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration:
“We think in terms of the future. We’re driven and have built a capacity for development that we hope to share with others in Nordic Climate Group. We’re also close to our customers, thanks to our service model and three locations. Both Henrik Olsen and I look forward to being part of Nordic Climate Group – an impressive group that’s quickly risen to become a leader. That’s something we also strive for. It’s going to be exciting to be part of Nordic Climate Group´s growth journey.”

Continued Leadership and Customer Focus

Both Kent Hannibal and Henrik Olsen, CEO of Bundgaard Køleteknik, will retain their current leadership roles, ensuring continuity in customer service and ongoing projects.

Founded in 2008 with roots dating back to 1973, Kølegruppen brings decades of expertise to Nordic Climate Group. This expansion aligns with the group’s mission to minimize climate impact and maximize energy efficiency through a decentralized model of entrepreneurial operations, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

Nordic Climate Group continues to focus on its goal of becoming a leading refrigeration company in Northern Europe through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
