DAIKIN Applied Germany

What DAIKIN Applied Germany does

Daikin Applied Germany GmbH is the German operating entity of Daikin Applied Europe S.p.A., itself part of Japan's Daikin Industries group. The company specializes in commercial and industrial HVAC-R solutions, serving enterprise customers across data centers, hotels and hospitality, industrial and manufacturing facilities, and commercial buildings. Its portfolio spans water-cooled and air-cooled chillers, heat pumps (including natural-refrigerant models for low-carbon heating), ventilation units, fan coils, and intelligent control systems, delivered alongside rental solutions, remote monitoring (Daikin on Site), and Compressor Life Cycle Services.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales for large-scale specification and procurement projects with a certified Servicepartner network that handles installation, commissioning, and after-sales support across Germany. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of HVAC equipment, managed rental services for temporary chiller and heat pump deployments, and recurring professional services (maintenance contracts, spare parts, remote monitoring, and technical support). Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, reflecting the configured nature of commercial HVAC systems.

The company is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main (Herriotstraße 1, HRB 107788) and leverages over 100 years of cooling innovation heritage from the Daikin group. Its strategic positioning emphasizes energy efficiency, natural refrigerant technology, and integrated controls as a platform layer across the equipment portfolio. Notable customer engagements include CERN, ENGELBERT STRAUSS, TKS, and Rilano Hotel München, illustrating the breadth of mission-critical and industrial applications served.
