Danfoss invests €10m in heat pump component factory
1st June 2026
FRANCE: Danish manufacturer Danfoss is to invest an additional €10m in its heat pump component factory in Reyrieux, France.
The investment builds on €61m invested in the site since 2015.
The announcement comes as France accelerates its national electrification strategy. In response to recent global energy shocks, the French government has reaffirmed its ambition to install more than one million heat pumps per year by 2030, alongside plans to triple domestic heat pump production by 2027 and train 30,000 installers.
The investment will upgrade the Reyrieux facility with on-site renewable power generation, enhanced energy efficiency measures, and modernised workspaces that, Danfoss says, will strengthen both sustainability performance and workplace attractiveness.
“We are investing to strengthen our production capacity and our test and development centres to better serve our customers globally,” said president and CEO Kim Fausing. “The investment in Reyrieux supports the growing demand we see for electrification and heat pump solutions. At the same time, investment in factories like Reyrieux strengthens our global footprint, brings us closer to our customers, and increases service levels, competitiveness, and resilience.”
The Danfoss Reyrieux site, comprises two facilities of 12,000m² and 4,500m², and employs around 410 people. The upcoming refurbishment will modernize approximately 4,000m² of office space and 600m² of shop-floor areas.
As part of the investment, €1m will fund solar canopies covering 4,000 m² of parking areas which is expected to supply around 7% of the site’s total electricity consumption. The full façade renewal will significantly improve insulation and reduce energy use. The remaining funding will support a comprehensive upgrade of workspaces.
