Daikin Applied buys German contractor Ganter

GERMANY: Daikin Applied Germany has acquired the German contractor Ganter Kälte- und Wärmetechnik GmbH, a company specialised in the design, installation and servicing of cooling and heating systems.

Daikin claims that the acquisition continues its evolution towards becoming a provider of integrated solutions, with the expansion of the service business at the centre of its plan for growth.

Ganter was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Holzgerlingen, near Stuttgart. The company employs 27 people and claims extensive experience in systems for comfort air conditioning and industrial applications. Its activities include design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair services.

The expansion of Daikin Applied Germany began in 2017 with the acquisition of Munich-based Kältetechnik Aircool GmbH and was followed by the purchase of Berlin-based UNI Klima- und Gebäudetechnik GmbH in 2021. 

Since 2026, the company has also offered nationwide rental services for chillers and heat pumps.
