What Nulite does
Nulite New Energy (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. is a China-Singapore joint venture founded in 2003 that designs, manufactures, and exports air source heat pumps for residential, commercial, and industrial heating, cooling, and domestic hot water applications. The company operates 2-3 factories in Foshan and Guangzhou spanning 200,000-400,000 square meters, with 12 automated production lines, 10+ internationally certified labs, and 800+ employees, supporting an annual production capacity of 500,000 to 1,000,000 units. Its product portfolio spans more than 12 lines including DC inverter heat pumps (split, monoblock, ultra-thin, all-in-one configurations), R290/R32/R744 (CO2) high-temperature models, EVI cold-climate units rated to -35°C ambient, swimming pool heat pumps with patented titanium heat exchangers, geothermal ground/water source systems, commercial chillers up to 140kW, and magnetic levitation compressors. Core technology centers on full DC variable-frequency inverter compressors (Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Copeland), Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) for cold-climate performance, PV direct-drive solar integration without additional inverters, and low-GWP refrigerants (R290 GWP=3, R32, R744) compliant with EU F-Gas regulation.
Nulite's revenue model is hardware sales via OEM/ODM manufacturing partnerships, international wholesale distribution, and direct B2B sales through a website inquiry and quote system. Products are exported to 168+ countries with MOQs of 5-10 units, payment terms of 30% T/T advance on orders above $5,000, and L/C available for orders above $1 million. The company offers full customization for OEM/ODM partners covering branding, logo, control panel language, and inner structure design, with new product design cycles of 1-3 months. Certifications include CE, UKCA, ErP A+++, ISO9001, ISO14001, CB, SGS, ROHS, EMC, EMF, and UL. The company serves residential homeowners (replacing gas boilers), commercial buildings and hospitality (hotels, offices, apartments), swimming pool and spa operators, geothermal energy projects, cold-climate markets in North/East Europe and North America, and B2B OEM/ODM partners, with a documented European presence across France, Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden, Germany, UK, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Recent strategic activity centers on European regulatory positioning: the May 2026 launches of the NL-FLM R290 Series and NL-B245II/R290 Series Air-to-Water Heat Pumps, the 2025 launch of an R744 CO2 ultra-high temperature heat pump for the European market, a 2024 strategic partnership with Hokkaido University for geothermal R&D, and recognition at ENERtec Asia 2024 in Kuala Lumpur. Distribution relies on a direct website inquiry form, YouTube/LinkedIn/Facebook/Skype digital presence, trade show participation, and SEO-optimized product and case-study content, with no disclosed revenue, headcount growth trends, or institutional funding in the source material.
