Beijer Ref and BITZER are among the leaders in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Both companies already have extensive cooperation in Europe, Asia and Africa. For the first time, an agreement has now been entered for a collaboration in the Australian and New Zealand markets - a partnership that strengthens both companies' global growth and presence.

BITZER is a compressor manufacturer located worldwide with products and services for cooling, air conditioning and process cooling as well as transport. Today, the company is established with 74 sites in 37 countries. Beijer Ref is a global wholesaler and distributor of a broad portfolio of brands and products within the refrigeration and HVAC industries. The Group is present in 36 countries with more than 450 branches, whereof 100 are located in Australia and New Zealand.

The new agreement means that from now on, Beijer Ref will provide a complete range of BITZER's product portfolio in Australia and New Zealand.

Per Bertland, CEO Beijer Ref, comments:

“We have long experience of working with BITZER and it is a natural step for us to develop our offering in important and growing markets such as Australia and New Zealand. Particularly interesting is that BITZER has one of the most developed product portfolios. They are also in the forefront when it comes to providing high technology solutions based on natural refrigerants. Beijer Ref always strives to expand its sustainable range, and together with our own OEM program we can now offer our customers complete solutions that are long lasting for the future.”

BITZER Group's CSMO Gianni Parlanti, adds:

“Beijer Ref has proven to be one of the most reliable partners in the BITZER Group and we look forward to continuing to develop our global collaboration. It is a clear advantage for us to now be able to have an even greater reach in Australia and New Zealand with the help of Beijer Ref's broad distribution network. We look forward to creating continued success together.”
