Heat pump sales boost

POLAND: Warsaw-based HVAC supplier Klima-Therm Group saw sales grow over 80% last year, driven by increased interest in air-to-water heat pumps.

The company saw its revenues in Poland and in key markets in Europe and North America increase considerably in 2022, taking it close to PLZ1bn (€211m) turnover.

Sales of the company’s own Kaisai brand grew more than fourfold, with air-to-water heat pumps being the main driver of the recorded growth. Klima-Therm also achieved excellent results in two other principal business segments – it has boosted its revenues from the distribution of Fujitsu air conditioning units and the manufacture of Klimor air handling units.

Klima-Therm, not to be confused with the UK company of the same name, consists of several affiliated enterprises specialising in manufacturing and distribution. In addition to its home market, Klima-Therm Group also operates in Scandinavia, the Baltic region, Germany and the USA.
