What Celsio does
Celsio Kälte- und Klima AG is a Swiss commercial and industrial refrigeration and HVAC specialist headquartered in Dällikon, Switzerland. Founded in 2003 and operating as a subsidiary of the Austrian HAUSER-Gruppe since 2016, the company installs, services and maintains cooling display cases, industrial cold storage systems and air conditioning installations for food retailers, food processors and logistics operators across Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Approximately 60 employees serve the market through a direct field sales force, a certified regional service partner network and the TopClimat SA subsidiary in Yverdon-les-Bains, which covers French-speaking Switzerland.
The core technology stack is built around commercial refrigeration using CO2, NH3 and Freon refrigerants, with energy efficiency and waste heat recovery as design priorities. Celsio operates as the exclusive Swiss/Liechtenstein general representative (Generalvertretung) of HAUSER Kühlmöbel cooling furniture and complements the product portfolio with a "Fernservice" remote monitoring module that integrates with Wurm and Danfoss refrigeration control systems via DFü data transmission, enabling active alarm management, preventive analysis and energy monitoring. Service delivery is formalized in a four-tier modular contract structure (BASIC, MEDIUM, PREMIUM, INDIVIDUELL) and a 24-hour emergency hotline.
Celsio generates revenue through three streams: one-time product sales (predominantly HAUSER cooling furniture and refrigeration equipment), recurring service and maintenance contracts (the tiered Service-Paket Baukasten-System and Fernservice subscriptions), and professional installation services covering planning, commissioning and setup. Named enterprise customers include EDEKA, MIGROS, LIDL, TRANSGOURMET, BERGLANDMILCH and EUROGAST, and the company advertises a 99.9% goods safety track record on refrigerated assets. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting supermarket, discount, food processing and cold logistics operators exclusively within Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

The products are unified by Celsio's role as a full-service provider handling planning, sales, installation, and ongoing service.

Celsio competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Carrier Commercial Refrigeration: Global commercial refrigeration solutions arm of Carrier selling cases, rack systems, and remote monitoring to supermarket and food retail chains — directly comparable equipment portfolio and vertical, but with much broader geographic and product scope than Celsio.
- Stiebel Eltron: Established DACH HVAC and heat-pump manufacturer and solutions provider with commercial climate control offerings, competing for the Klimaanlagen and energy-efficiency portion of Celsio's addressable customer set.
- Viessmann: Major DACH-based provider of HVAC, refrigeration, and cold-room solutions to commercial customers; overlaps with Celsio's Kühlhallen, Industriekühlung, and Klimaanlagen lines and serves German-speaking markets where Celsio could expand.
Others
- BITZER: Global manufacturer of refrigeration compressors and components widely used in commercial/industrial refrigeration systems Celsio installs — supplier-level adjacency and category-defining benchmark for the equipment ecosystem.
- Danfoss: Global supplier of refrigeration controls, compressors, and remote-monitoring platforms — already integrated with Celsio's Fernservice, representing an enablement relationship and indirect competitive channel for the remote-monitoring layer.
Emerging players
- AHT Cooling Systems: Austrian manufacturer of commercial plug-in refrigeration and freezer cabinets for food retail; comparable in geography (Austria/DACH) and in targeting the same supermarket channel that Celsio serves.
Direct peers
- Riedel Kältetechnik: German refrigeration and HVAC contractor serving supermarkets, food retail, and industrial clients with planning, installation, and maintenance; directly comparable SME-scale services competitor.
- HEIFO Kälte- und Klimatechnik: German commercial refrigeration and HVAC installer/service provider with 24/7 service, planning, and remote monitoring capabilities — closely mirrors Celsio's Kühlhallen/Klima/Fernservice full-service model for food retail and industrial customers.
- Epta Group: Italian-headquartered multinational manufacturing and servicing commercial refrigeration cabinets, plug-ins, and cold rooms for supermarkets and food retail — same end customers (retail chains, discounters, food service) and same product categories as Celsio, but at significantly larger scale.
- Pohlmann Kältetechnik: Germany-based commercial refrigeration specialist offering installation, service, and remote monitoring for supermarkets and industry; same target customers and recurring service posture as Celsio, with neighboring DACH exposure.
