Lu-Ve begins shipping dry coolers from Chinese factory

ITALY/CHINA: Italian heat exchanger and cooling system manufacturer Lu-Ve has begun delivery of Giants dry coolers from its Chinese production facility.

The expanded plant in Tianmen, Hubei Province, has been operational since December 2024, after more than doubling in size – from 19,000m2 to over 43,000m2, including 6,640m2 dedicated to the storage of finished products. 

The facility now manufactures large EHDV dry coolers from the Lu-Ve’s Giants range, featuring advanced technologies for high-demand applications in data centres and power generation – sectors experiencing strong growth under China’s “For China from China” initiative and the €80bn cold chain investment plan through 2028.

“With the start of Giants production in China, we are delivering on our GLOCAL strategy: combining Lu-Ve Group’s global expertise with local production capabilities. This gives our customers in China faster delivery, tailored products, and closer support,” said Lu-Ve China general manager Thomas Stiller.
