Qvantum establishes French subsidiary
20th October 2024
SWEDEN/FRANCE: Swedish heat pump and energy system company Qvantum has established a subsidiary in France.
Based in Lyon, Qvantum Energy Technology SAS joins the network of subsidiary companies in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Hungary.
“France is a very important and interesting market for us, both for our products for one-family houses and for our system solutions.” said Jesper Jarnhäll, Qvantum’s head of commercial. “France has a strong district heating culture, making it easy for people to embrace our ideas on low-temperature grids.”
Christian Blanc, former MD of Nibe France & Benelux has joined the company as a senior advisor. He sees big potential in Qvantum’s ambient loop systems and the company’s apartment heat pump.
“The trend away from gas burners is very strong, and we are in dialogue with the big French energy companies. They have an understanding of hot district heating and really see the potential in our low-temperature systems with decentralised production of both heating and cooling,” Christian Blanc said.
Qvantum has developed and produced high-quality heat pumps and energy systems since 1993. In September last year the company announced the acquisition of Electrolux’s Hungarian refrigerator factory in a €38m deal. The production facility in Nyíregyháza is Qvantum’s third factory after Limhamn and Åstorp in Sweden.
