Danfoss has inaugurated its largest global production facility in China, which more than doubles the company’s presence in the region.
Spanning 126,000 sqm, Danfoss’ Haiyan Second Campus underscores the company’s long-term commitment to supporting China’s green transition and high-quality development.
With the new campus in operation, Danfoss’ expanded presence in Haiyan now integrates manufacturing for all three of its business segments, and two Application Development Centres (ADCs) serving its Power Solutions and Climate Solutions businesses.
These facilities are built to the same world-class standards as in Europe and the United States. They focus on developing and delivering advanced technologies, including drives, commercial compressors, quick disconnect connectors, hydraulic pumps, motors and valves, and heat exchangers, vital to decarbonising China’s buildings, transportation, and energy sectors.
The opening ceremony was attended by: Anders Siegumfeldt, deputy head of mission, Ambassador, Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark; Chen Wei, party secretary of Jiaxing City; and Wang Suishe, party secretary of Haiyan County, along with Kim Fausing, president and CEO of Danfoss, and Arthur Xu, president of Danfoss China, as well as members of Danfoss’ founding family, Danfoss executives, and guests.
Speaking at the event, Fausing said there is great potential in the Chinese market.
“The investment in this new campus is fully in line with our growth ambition, driven by our new LEAP 2030 strategy,” he said.
“Through state-of-the-art innovation and production facilities, we are contributing to China’s high-quality, low-carbon transition alongside our Chinese partners.”
Danfoss China president, Arthur Xu, said the new campus is a strategic leap forward and enhances the company’s ability to deliver advanced, energy efficient solutions allowing Chinese customers to decarbonise and grow at scale.
“As we celebrate 20 years in Haiyan and 30 years in China, we recognise that our success here has been made possible thanks to the strong partnership and support from the Jiaxing and Haiyan governments,” Xu said.
“Since establishing operations in Haiyan in 2005, the Danfoss Haiyan Campus has grown to be one of the company’s most important innovation and manufacturing facilities globally, contributing to the region’s development. “
In line with Danfoss’ commitment to decarbonise global operations by 2030, the campus has been constructed with energy efficiency in focus and will operate with its three-step decarbonisation approach: Reduce, Reuse, and Re-source. I
Danfoss currently has 11 production sites and four innovation facilities in China and more than 5,000 employees in the country.
