Samsung’s Asia-Pacific HVAC push has gained a new manufacturing base in Pune. The company plans to target rising demand for AI data-center cooling across India and regional markets.
Samsung Electronics has completed a 13,826-square-metre FläktGroup facility that will manufacture advanced heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment.
The plant can progressively reach 6,500 HVAC units annually and will serve customers in India and Asia-Pacific.
Samsung selected Pune for its expanding data-center and industrial ecosystem, proximity to Mumbai and major logistics infrastructure.
The facility also marks the first new FläktGroup manufacturing site since Samsung completed its acquisition of the HVAC specialist in November 2025.
Samsung’s Asia-Pacific HVAC push centers on Pune because the city combines industrial infrastructure, growing data-center activity and access to major logistics networks. The facility sits close to Mumbai and its port infrastructure, allowing Samsung and FläktGroup to move HVAC equipment more efficiently to Indian customers and regional Asia-Pacific markets.
The location also strengthens Samsung’s Indian manufacturing network. The Pune plant will operate alongside the existing Noida facility, giving FläktGroup two manufacturing bases in India. Samsung can therefore use Pune to support domestic demand while building a stronger supply route into Asia-Pacific markets.

Samsung’s Asia-Pacific HVAC push directly targets the growing requirement for specialized cooling in AI data centers. AI workloads increase computing intensity and heat generation, making precise thermal management critical for severe environments.
The Pune facility will manufacture FläktGroup’s Air Handling Units, Fan Wall Units and Computer Room Air Handlers. AHUs use chilled water to cool air and manage air quality, while FWUs use high-capacity fans to remove heat from server environments. CRAHs provide precise temperature, humidity and air-quality control for mission-critical IT equipment.
Samsung plans to progressively increase the plant’s production capacity to 6,500 HVAC units annually, giving the company a sizeable manufacturing base for data-center and critical-infrastructure customers.
The Pune facility also represents a major step in Samsung’s integration of FläktGroup, the specialized HVAC company that Samsung acquired in November 2025. Samsung invested about 2.5 trillion won, or USD 1.8 billion, to acquire full ownership of FläktGroup.
The new plant marks the first new FläktGroup manufacturing facility since the acquisition, allowing Samsung to combine FläktGroup’s cooling expertise with Samsung’s AI and platform technologies. Samsung aims to use that combination to strengthen its B2B HVAC business and target AI data-center customers.
Samsung’s Asia-Pacific HVAC push extends beyond domestic production. The company intends to use Pune as a regional supply base for HVAC solutions across Asia-Pacific, while the Noida facility continues to support its Indian manufacturing network.
The manufacturing strategy also aligns with Make in India, as Samsung builds specialized industrial equipment closer to the markets driving demand. The six-month transition from equipment installation to mass-production readiness highlights the company’s focus on rapidly scaling its HVAC manufacturing footprint.
