Daikin Applied Germany Acquires Ganter to Expand Heating and Cooling Services
Germany: Daikin Applied Germany has acquired Ganter Kälte- und Wärmetechnik GmbH, a German company specialising in the design, installation and servicing of heating and cooling systems. Effective 2 October 2026, the acquisition expands Daikin's service capabilities for industrial and commercial applications and strengthens its presence in the Stuttgart region. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Holzgerlingen, Ganter employs 27 people and provides system design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair services. The acquisition will also support the installation and modernisation of heating and cooling systems, including heat pumps for industrial and district heating applications.
The development comes amid Germany's efforts to increase renewable energy and waste heat utilisation in district heating networks, which extend for more than 35,000 kilometres across the country. The acquisition follows Daikin Applied Germany's previous additions of Kältetechnik Aircool GmbH in 2017 and UNI Klima- und Gebäudetechnik GmbH in 2021. Since 2026, the company has also offered nationwide rental services for chillers and heat pumps. The transaction forms part of Daikin Group's FUSION 30 strategic plan, which focuses on integrated solutions and service business expansion. Daikin Applied Europe reported revenue of EUR 504 million (approximately USD 580 million) for the financial year ending March 2026, representing an increase compared with the previous year.
