Daikin Applied Europe

What Daikin Applied Europe does

Daikin Applied Europe S.p.A. is the European headquarters for Daikin Industries' 'Applied' (commercial and industrial) HVAC business, headquartered in Ariccia (Rome), Italy, with manufacturing and engineering in Vicenza, regional sales/service hubs in Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, and Cramlington (UK), and a wholly-owned operational structure under the Daikin Group (TYO: 6367). Operating since 1968 with approximately 924 employees, the company designs, manufactures, and services hydronic HVAC systems — chillers, heat pumps, air handling units, fan coils, and smart controls — covering cooling capacities from 8 kW to 11,000+ kW for commercial, industrial, and mission-critical applications.

The product portfolio is anchored in proprietary compressor technologies (screw inverter, oil-free centrifugal, and scroll platforms), a low-GWP refrigerant strategy spanning R-290 (propane), R-32, R-454C, R-1234ze, R-513A, and R-134a, and a digitally integrated control stack including the Niagara-based iDCM for data centers, iCM chiller manager, Microtech 4 unit controller with native Modbus/BACNet BMS integration, the Smart Control System (SCS), Daikin Shinka fan coil interface, and the Daikin on Site remote monitoring platform. It holds ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001, AHRI (air- and water-cooled), Eurovent, F-Gas, and PED certifications, and has supplied reference installations including a cumulative 31 MW of cooling capacity for CERN since 2012.

Revenue is generated through direct enterprise field sales of equipment (project-based quotations, multi-year contracts), a growing 'Stock – Fast Delivery' line of ready-to-ship chillers and heat pumps, after-sales services (overhauls, retrofits, spare parts), chiller and heat pump rentals through Daikin Applied Germany and Daikin Applied UK, and managed services via Daikin on Site. Customers span data centers, hospitals and healthcare, hospitality and sports venues, industrial process cooling, district cooling, oil & gas, offices, and residential applications across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
