Heat pump company Qvantum raises €108m

SWEDEN: Swedish heat-pump systems and technology company Qvantum has raised €108m in Series C capital, including a debt facility of €15m, to increase production and drive European expansion.

With headquarters and factory in Limhamn, Sweden, Qvantum also operates a further Swedish production facility in Åstorp. In 2023, it invested €38m in a third plant in Nyíregyháza, Hungary, with a potential output of one million propane heat pumps per year.

Lead investors in Series C capital raise include existing investors Thomas von Koch (partner and ex-CEO of global private equity firm EQT) and IMAS Foundation, a sister foundation to the INGKA Foundation, owner of INGKA Group, the operator of the majority of IKEA stores globally.

Other Series C investors are SEB Greentech, DIG Investment (connected to the H&M Persson family), NEA Partners and Climentum Capital. Mats Rahmström, former CEO of Atlas Copco, is also investing and has joined the Qvantum board.
