Innovation is a core competency of Daikin
Product innovation has always been key at Daikin and will continue to be so in the future. Throughout history, Daikin has been the pioneer in bringing several new air conditioning and heating innovations to the market, thereby changing the whole business landscape. For example, today, throughout Europe we see a rapid development of heat pump systems, which are becoming the standard heating solution for new build houses and for replacement of gas or oil boilers. We are very proud that it was Daikin that introduced this heat pump solution to the market for residential central heating, almost 15 years ago with the launch of our Daikin Altherma range. A heat pump system uses renewable energies such as thermal ambient energy from the air, the water or the ground, as well as electricity, rather than gas or oil. As such, it is being acknowledged as a Renewable Energy Sourced solution making a major positive impact on our environment. Thanks to its efficiency, a heat pump system also drastically reduces the annual costs for the end user versus gas or oil boilers. With our Daikin Altherma range, we are market leader throughout Europe and we are very proud of having initiated this “game changer” for the whole European heating market!
Furthermore, it is important to mention the relevance of decarbonizing the heating sector, which will be key to making Europe a climate-neutral economy by 2050. “Daikin embraces the EU Green Deal and believes that heat pumps will play an essential role in making Europe climate neutral and in combining decarbonization with sustainable economic growth.” – says Jan Logghe, Managing Director of Daikin Portugal. In addition, we are taking the lead in implementing a circular economy in the Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Refrigeration industry. At Daikin, we continuously strive for five (5) key values always that really differentiate us in the market: innovation/quality/reliability/comfort/efficiency. This for all our products and solutions offered, but also for our skilled services. All our business partners and end users expect this from a brand like Daikin, the European market leader in air conditioning and heat pumps. We aim to offer the solutions the market will need in the future.
It is important to challenge ourselves continuously to remain ahead of our competition. During 2021, Daikin will invest 140m€ in a new state-of-the-art development centre in Belgium, including test chambers and research facilities equipped with the most advanced technologies. The new development centre will give place to 380 designers and is a strong commitment of Daikin to reinforce our market leading position based on innovation.
