Danish multinational engineering group Danfoss has finalised its acquisition of BOCK GmbH, reinforcing its position as a preferred provider of energy-efficient solutions. This deal is transferring to Africa, with Roy Naidoo, Sales Director Sub-Saharan Africa for Danfoss Climate Solutions, expressing his excitement about the transition: “BOCK is a global leader with over 90 years’ experience in developing compressors, and has an impressive reputation for quality, climate-friendly technology. The addition of BOCK’s product portfolio to our existing range of compressors has given Danfoss the opportunity to tap into new markets and grow our reach within Africa.”
As of March this year, the sales of BOCK compressors to resellers, contractors and end users were transitioned to distribution partners, while certain key original equipment manufacturers will continue to be supported directly.
“BOCK’s renowned compressors – one of the largest portfolios in the world - are a natural fit for Danfoss’ extensive existing solutions range,” says Naidoo. “With best-in-class CO2 and low-GWP semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors and condensing units, the new BOCK additions to the Danfoss offering solutions will help organisations worldwide to further accelerate energy efficiency and decarbonisation.”
The sales director says that innovative technologies for greener cooling and heating will assist Africa in its transition towards more sustainable practices, where we would then, in turn, contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. “The integration of BOCK compressors represents a strategic alignment of a shared vision of using innovation, climate-friendly technology and sustainability to fast-track decarbonised cold chain and heating systems worldwide,” adds Naeem Fakir, Sales Driver Sub-Saharan Africa for BOCK. “We believe that the new distribution partnerships will pave the way for significant growth opportunities within Africa and ensure a smooth transition for our local clients.”
