Pune: Samsung Electronics has opened a new HVAC manufacturing facility in Maval taluka to expand its supply of cooling systems for AI data centres and other critical infrastructure across India and the wider Asia-Pacific region.The facility is operated by FläktGroup, the HVAC specialist acquired by Samsung in November 2025, and is the first new manufacturing unit to become operational since the acquisition. It will manufacture Air Handling Units (AHUs), Fan Wall Units (FWUs) and Computer Air Handlers (CRAHs), which are used to manage cooling and air quality in data centres and other mission-critical environments.The facility in Pune district will serve customers in India as well as markets across the Asia-Pacific region. The plant covers approximately 13,826 square metres and moved from equipment installation to mass production in six months.The company plans to progressively increase production capacity at the facility to up to 6,500 HVAC units annually.“The completion of the production line in Pune, India, marks a significant milestone in expanding our HVAC supply beyond India to the broader Asia-Pacific region. By combining Samsung’s AI and platform technologies with FläktGroup’s HVAC expertise, we will [serve] a diverse range of customers, including AI data centres,” said Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance (DA) Business.The facility builds on existing manufacturing operations in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and is expected to strengthen local production and improve customer responsiveness.AHUs use chilled water to cool indoor environments while supporting air quality, while FWUs use multiple high-capacity fans to remove heat from server environments. CRAHs provide precision management of temperature, humidity and air quality for mission-critical IT equipment.The Pune plant is part of Samsung’s broader push to combine its AI and technology capabilities with specialised HVAC and critical-cooling expertise to develop and supply next-generation cooling systems as demand for AI infrastructure grows.
