Johnson Controls celebrated the groundbreaking of the expansion of its Holme heat pump and chiller facility in Aarhus, Denmark. The mayor of Aarhus, Anders Winnerskjold, was on site to mark this significant milestone for the facility, which produces and tests large, high-capacity commercial and industrial heat pumps.
“This expansion highlights our ongoing commitment to meeting the growing global demand for solutions that empower businesses to create smart, healthy, sustainable buildings,” said Richard Lek, president EMEA. “Our heat pumps are helping customers meet multiple priorities at once—from ensuring uptime and performance to dramatically lowering heating costs and emissions. We are proud to invest in this technology and the long-term value it delivers for industries such as district heating and cooling, data centers, food and beverage, and life sciences.”
The investment is expected to create over 100 new jobs. Scheduled for completion by early 2026, it will add 2,300 square meters of production capacity and an 1,800 square meter customer and test center that will comply with the new European Heat Pump Association testing regulation (EN 14511). Customers can collaborate with Johnson Controls technical teams to test high-capacity heat pumps under simulated real-world conditions. In addition to the facility expansion, the company will modernize and upgrade existing buildings.
