Samsung Electronics Completes New HVAC Production Line in India, Targeting the Asia-Pacific AI Data Center Market

About 13,826 Square Meters in Size, with Annual Capacity of 6,500 Units
Maximizing Synergy with Plact Group's HVAC Expertise

Samsung Electronics has established a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) production base for global HVAC specialist Plact Group in India. With this, the company is set to aggressively target the rapidly growing thermal management market for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in India and the Asia-Pacific region.

Samsung Electronics announced on August 12 (local time) that it held the completion ceremony for Plact Group's new production line in Pune, Maharashtra, India. The event was attended by key management from both companies, including Kim Cheol-ki, Vice President and Head of the Digital Appliances (DA) Division at Samsung Electronics, and David Dorney, CEO of Plact Group, along with more than 100 major business partners who celebrated the launch of operations.

The newly established Pune plant, together with the existing Noida manufacturing facility, will serve as a strategic outpost to quickly supply HVAC solutions to customers across the Asia-Pacific region. In particular, the Pune area is a key hub where data centers and industrial infrastructure are rapidly expanding, and its proximity to the logistics hub of Mumbai Port makes it highly efficient for supply chain operations.

The new facility, spanning a total area of 13,826 square meters including production lines, office space, and ancillary facilities, completed preparations for mass production in about six months since ground was broken earlier this year. Once operating at full capacity, the facility will be able to produce up to 6,500 HVAC units per year.

This plant will primarily manufacture key equipment specialized for data center thermal management. The main product, the air handling unit (AHU), uses chilled water to cool and maintain optimal air quality inside large commercial buildings and data centers. Fan wall units (FWU), which are wall-mounted ventilation systems, and computer room air handlers (CRAH), which offer ultra-precise air control, help maintain the best possible conditions by managing the heat emitted by information technology (IT) equipment in server rooms.

Vice President Kim Cheol-ki stated, "The completion of the Pune production line is an important milestone in expanding our HVAC supply beyond India to the wider Asia-Pacific region. By combining Samsung’s AI and platform expertise with Plact Group’s HVAC capabilities, we will deliver optimal value to a wide range of customers, including those operating AI data centers."
