What bitzer china does

BITZER China (比泽尔中国) is the wholly-owned Chinese regional subsidiary of BITZER Group, the German family-owned manufacturer founded in 1934 and headquartered in Sindelfingen. The China entity serves the Chinese and broader Asian market as part of BITZER's global network of 74 locations and 20 production facilities, distributing and supporting the group's portfolio of refrigeration and air conditioning compressors, heat exchangers, and electronic controls for commercial refrigeration, air conditioning and process cooling, heat pumps, transport refrigeration, and industrial refrigeration customers. The parent company self-identifies as the world's largest manufacturer of refrigerant compressors, with 90 years of domain expertise and leadership in natural refrigerants including ammonia (since 1973), hydrocarbons (since 1990), and CO2 (since 1998).

BITZER's core technology centers on reciprocating, screw, and scroll compressors, supplemented by condensing units, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, pressure vessels, ammonia compressor packs, and proprietary electronic controls such as the IQ MODULE and the VARISTEP mechanical capacity control system. New product activity in 2025 includes the OWD water-cooled oil cooler series with disc-and-doughnut baffle technology, the KE series water-cooled condensers, and the SQD dry expansion evaporators with patented refrigerant distribution and cooling capacity up to 2000 kW. Supporting the hardware portfolio are design and service software tools including BITZER SOFTWARE for system design, ePARTS for spare parts identification, SmarTube for heat-exchanger tube selection, and the myBITZER customer portal, alongside the SCHAUFLER Academy training program and Green Point global service network.

BITZER's revenue model combines hardware sales of compressors, condensing units, heat exchangers, and spare parts with subscription or freemium digital services (BITZER SOFTWARE, ePARTS premium features, myBITZER portal) and professional services through SCHAUFLER Academy seminars. The consolidated BITZER Group generated €1.135 billion in revenue in 2025, invested €55 million in capital projects, and spent €67 million on R&D, supporting a global workforce of 4,500. BITZER China participates in this model as a regional market entity, leveraging direct enterprise sales through its regional office and Chinese-language digital channels alongside authorized distribution partners, with SELO/CML and other certifications supporting regulatory compliance in the Chinese market.
