Daikin Europe N.V., a European subsidiary of Daikin Industries, Ltd., has acquired BKF Klima, a Danish HVAC distributor, and previously a part of Beijer REF. At Daikin’s new offices in Brøndby, Denmark, the company will also open two new facilities, including a Daikin Training Center for installers and Daikin Experience Center for consumers. This strategic acquisition will further enable Daikin to leverage its extensive R&D expertise in low carbon HVAC solutions for the region.
Daikin’s acquisition of BKF Klima marks a significant step in the company’s expansion strategy in Scandinavia, which began with Daikin Sweden (2008), Daikin Norway (2018), and a Daikin office in Finland (2018). The company holds a leading position in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and with the acquisition of BKF Klima, it now strengthens its position in Denmark as well.
As a distributor of HVAC technology, BKF Klima has acted as a distributor for Daikin Europe in the Danish market since 1985. The company was previously owned by Beijer Ref, a world-leading wholesaler of cooling technology and HVAC. Through this strategic acquisition, Daikin aims to leverage its extensive R&D expertise and establish educational opportunities for installers through localised training centers.
