Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. marked a significant milestone on Monday with a groundbreaking ceremony for its new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) production line in the southwestern city of Gwangju, South Korea.
The company plans to invest roughly 240 billion Korean won (approximately $173 million) to build a 21,500-square-meter HVAC facility within its existing Gwangju complex. Scheduled to begin operations in 2028, the new line will manufacture HVAC products under the brand of Flakt Group Holding GmbH, a German ventilation equipment firm that Samsung Electronics acquired last year.
At the ceremony, Samsung Electronics co-CEO and head of the Device eXperience (DX) division, Roh Tae-moon, underscored the strategic importance of the project, stating that the establishment of the new line for the Flakt Group would serve as another milestone in advancing the HVAC business, which he identified as a key growth engine for the company.
According to Samsung, the new facility is set to bolster its global manufacturing capabilities for premium cooling equipment and centralized HVAC solutions, particularly as demand from AI data centers for cooling and climate control systems continues to surge at a rapid pace.
