Climalife

What Climalife does

Climalife is a France-headquartered industrial chemicals company and subsidiary of the diversified Dehon Group, specializing in working fluids and engineering services for thermal systems. The company supplies refrigerants (HFC, HFO, HCFC, regenerated HFCs, ammonia, CO2, hydrocarbons), heat transfer fluids, lubricants, aerosol propellants, cleaning agents, leak detection systems, blowing agents, special gases, and extinguishing agents, complemented by engineering and on-site services such as cylinder management, maintenance, dismantling, and refrigerant recovery and reclamation. Its portfolio comprises more than 300 products organized into 12 ranges, supported by digital tools including the A2L Charge Calculator (EN378 compliance), Clim'app equipment monitoring, the F-Gas Solutions refrigerant selector, and a Solution Finder.

The company serves industrial customers across six primary verticals — Food Process, Building, Energy, Health-Healthcare, Automotive-Transport, and Aeronautics/Aerospace/Defence — with applications spanning refrigeration, cooling, heating, cold storage, deep-freezing, packaging, ripening, air conditioning, fire protection, and renewable-energy thermal management. Operations span 15 subsidiaries and 14 production sites and logistics centers worldwide, with the website localized in nine languages and a country selector covering 240+ geographies. Reported scale metrics include 300+ employees, 12,000+ customers, a +10% R&D investment increase, 30 million tonnes CO2-equivalent avoided through company actions in Europe, and 75% of fluorinated greenhouse gas waste recovered.

Climalife operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, distributing directly through its subsidiaries and via an online quotation system. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales across the fluid and equipment portfolio and through professional services revenue from engineering, recovery, and on-site maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has positioned circular economy and F-gas regulatory compliance as central differentiators, evidenced by the June 2026 strategic partnership with Solstice Advanced Materials on refrigerant lifecycle management and the launch of Climalife Connect as a customer platform in February 2026.
