What Swegon Group does

Swegon Group AB is a Swedish-headquartered multinational manufacturer and marketer of indoor climate solutions, wholly owned by Stockholm-listed Investment AB Latour. Founded in 1932 as Farex in Norway and now headquartered in Gothenburg, the company operates across 16+ countries in Europe, North America, and Asia with a workforce of 1,001–5,000 employees and SEK 10.3 billion in 2025 turnover.

The company's product portfolio spans air handling units (notably the GOLD series, with the Generation G launch in March 2026 using over 70% recycled steel), air distribution components (dampers, silencers, roof fans, louvres, diffusers), room units (chilled beams, climate ceilings via Barcol-Air), and cooling and heating production (chillers, heat pumps, freecooling, IT cooling, packaged rooftops). These hardware lines are complemented by the WISE and REACT room management systems, the INSIDE digital services platform for monitoring and control, BIM integration including a Design Assist Autodesk Revit plug-in for automated acoustic design, and the Swegon Designer Suite selection software. The business sells integrated HVAC system solutions to commercial, public-sector, residential, and data centre end-markets through wholly-owned national subsidiaries, dedicated regional Vice Presidents of Sales, and an extensive retained brand portfolio (Actionair, BlueBox, Waterloo, Dalair, SAMP, HOWATHERM, Rosenberg, bluMartin, Safegard, and others). Revenue mechanics are primarily project-based equipment sales with an emerging layer of recurring digital services and connected building software; geographic mix is anchored in Europe with growing North American presence following the 2025 acquisition of American Geothermal.
