What Sauermann France does

Sauermann France is a French operating subsidiary of Sauermann Group, a privately held industrial manufacturer controlled by Belgian holding company SI Invest. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Chevry-Cossigny, the company specializes in condensate management solutions and HVAC/R measuring instruments, operating alongside sister entities in nine countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Oceania with a workforce of 251–500.

Its product portfolio is structured around two pillars. The first is condensate removal pumps — spanning mini pumps, tank pumps, peristaltic pumps (marketed on silent operation), and specialized supermarket cabinet pumps — supported by an accessory ecosystem of brackets, supports, cages, and line-set protection. The second is HVAC/R measuring instruments sold under both the Sauermann and the retained KIMO Instruments brands, including wireless digital manifolds (Si-RM350, Si-RM450), digital refrigerant gauges, portable instruments, probes, and connected accessories. Recent launches in 2025 — a new peristaltic range, the Si-RM350/Si-RM450 manifolds, Omega Pack 2, and Delta Pack — indicate an active refresh cycle on both sides of the portfolio.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales (pumps, instruments, accessories) routed via a global distributor/wholesale network and regional direct offices, with quote-based pricing and no publicly listed price points. End customers are HVAC/R installers and technicians (primary), commercial refrigeration operators, cleanroom and regulated-environment facilities, and smart-building/facilities managers. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, distributes content via a multilingual website, INsights blog, YouTube, LinkedIn, and email newsletters, and maintains trade-show presence at international HVAC exhibitions including ISH China & CIHE.
