What NIBE Group does

NIBE Group (legal entity NIBE Industrier AB (publ)) is a Swedish public industrial company founded in 1952 in Markaryd and listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The company develops, manufactures, and markets energy-efficient heating and climate-control solutions through three core business areas: NIBE Climate Solutions (heat pumps, chillers, fan coils, air handling units for residential, commercial, and industrial properties), NIBE Element (electric heating elements and intelligent control components serving oil and gas, chemicals, construction, electric vehicles, and semiconductor customers), and NIBE Stoves (residential fireplaces and stoves). Acquired brands such as RHOSS SpA (Italy, 2019) and the newly announced Beltrami Felice S.r.l. (Italy, May 2026) extend the European HVAC footprint.

In May 2026, NIBE inaugurated a 200-acre Defence Manufacturing Complex in Shirdi, Maharashtra, representing a strategic entry into Indian defence and aerospace. The Shirdi complex includes India's first indigenous 155mm ammunition shell plant (500,000 annual capacity), TNT and RDX production plants, a Bio-CNG and Hydrogen Fuel Plant, and new weapons platforms — the Suryastra 300 km rocket launching system, the Vayu Astra-1 loitering munition (with a CEP under one metre and 100 km range), and the Skystriker loitering munition. An MoU with Black Sky for satellite assembly signals further extension into space technology. The defence vertical is anchored by Indian Army emergency orders and a five-year order book.

The group operates across Nordic, Western, and Southern Europe and has expanded into South Asia. Revenue mechanics are hardware-driven across all segments — sales of physical units (heat pumps, elements, stoves, shells, rockets) to property owners, industrial buyers, residential consumers via dealer networks, and government defence customers. The group employs 10,000+ people globally, with major manufacturing in Sweden, Italy (RHOSS Codroipo), and India (Shirdi), and runs an acquisition-led growth strategy with sustainability positioning around lower carbon footprint and energy efficiency as its stated mission.
