GERMANY: Efficient Energy, the chiller manufacturer using water as the refrigerant, has secured a further €11m funding from its investors to expand its laboratory infrastructure and production capacities.

The latest capital injection from investment funds Santo and MIG Fonds will also enable the Feldkirchen-based innovator to diversify its product portfolio with the development of higher performance eChillers.

“The transformation of the refrigeration market is in full swing. We are increasingly seeing the wish of major customers to use sustainable and environmentally friendly refrigeration systems only.
