SWEDEN/ITALY: Gothenburg-based HVAC manufacturer Swegon has acquired the Italian air handling unit manufacturer Samp SpA.

Announcing the deal, Swegon CEO Andreas Örje Wellstam said that he saw a growing demand for specialised air handling solutions, seeing Samp as a perfect fit for growing its modular AHU business. 

“The acquisition of Samp does not only significantly strengthen our position in the Italian market, but it also provides us with a solid manufacturing base of modular AHUs for southern Europe,” he said.
