What Kampmann Group does

Kampmann Group is a privately held German manufacturer of commercial heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC) systems, headquartered in Lingen (Ems) and founded in 1972. With over 1,100 employees and sales/service operations in 11 countries across Europe and North America (Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, and the United States), the company develops and produces a broad HVAC portfolio that includes floor trench heating/cooling systems under the Katherm brand, fan coils (Venkon, KaDeck, KaCool series, PowerKon LT), unit heaters, air handling units (KaCompact KG), diffusers, door air curtains (UniLine, Tandem, ProtecTor), decentralised ventilation units, heat pumps and chillers, and architectural design grilles. Its KaControl platform provides proprietary building-side integration and control across the product range, allowing the company to position around specification-grade projects such as glass-façade office towers, hotels, airports, retail, and industrial halls.

The company's go-to-market is exclusively B2B and project-driven: Kampmann supports customers end-to-end via consultation, design, site measurement, custom construction, delivery, and installation, with named enterprise references spanning broadcasting (RTL Broadcasting Center), hospitality (Hotel Roomers), transportation (Geneva Airport), retail (Rose Bikes), events (Pela Event Hall), and commercial real estate (Tempowerk). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of HVAC equipment under quote-based, multi-year project contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company markets principally through its corporate website, structured project case studies, technical content (news, interviews, technology articles), and direct enterprise field sales rather than mass-market channels.

Kampmann's competitive positioning rests on in-house R&D and manufacturing, a 50-plus-year operating track record, and a deep specification-grade product portfolio — most notably trench technology for cold-air screening at large glass façades. Product momentum in 2024–2025 includes the September 2025 redesign of the KaDeck ceiling-cassette fan coil (lighter, quieter, longer-life, with fresh-air distribution) and the launch of PowerKon LT and a dedicated Heat Pumps and Chillers category aimed at European heat-pump-led building refurbishment. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, funding history, or leadership changes, and no M&A activity in the source data.

Products and services

• Trench Technology (Katherm series) Floor-concealed trench heating and cooling systems (Katherm HK, QK, QK nano, NK, QL, ID, QE) installed flush with the floor for effective cold air screening along glass façades and floor-to-ceiling windows, providing unobstructed views and indoor air quality. Sold to B2B customers for commercial building projects.
• Unit Heaters Wall- and ceiling-mounted unit heaters (TIP, TOP, Ultra, Ultra Allround, TOP C, Site heater, Ultra DX, Resistent) for heating, cooling, or ventilation, configurable as recirculation, mixed, or primary air units. Designed for industrial halls, large spaces, automotive/event venues, and retail spaces.
• Fan Coils Water-based fan coil systems including Venkon, KaCool D AF, KaDius, KaDeck, PowerKon LT, Venkon XL, KaCool W, Venkon DX, KaCool D HY, and KaCool D HC for building cooling and fan-assisted heating, optionally combined with heat pumps. The redesigned KaDeck is a ceiling cassette fan coil that heats/cools room air and distributes fresh air when required.
• Heat Pump-Based Heater Fan-assisted heaters including PowerKon LT, specifically developed for energy-efficient refurbishment of offices and administrative buildings using heat pump systems in existing and new buildings. Targets B2B customers undertaking energy-efficient retrofits.
• Diffusers Air diffusers for HVAC systems, including Slot diffusers, Round/oval duct diffusers, Combination diffusers, Swirl diffusers, Displacement diffusers, and Industrial diffusers, providing linear, duct-mounted, multi-function, swirling, displacement, and industrial air distribution patterns respectively.
