Mitsubishi Electric announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems S.p.A. acquired all shares of the APAC group and the COMPAC group, including their operating companies involved in HVAC sales, installation, and maintenance, on July 13. Both groups were headquartered in Utrecht Province in the Netherlands.
The acquisition strengthens Mitsubishi Electric’s one-stop capabilities in Europe by enhancing its ability to provide integrated equipment sales, installation, and maintenance services. By combining the installation and maintenance expertise of the APAC and COMPAC groups with its own extensive product portfolio, Mitsubishi Electric expects to expand its data center cooling systems business across Europe.
Global demand for data center cooling systems has increased significantly in recent years, and Mitsubishi Electric has positioned this sector as one of its key growth businesses. In Europe, data center development is expanding beyond the traditional hubs of Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin into both northern and southern regions, creating growing demand for advanced cooling solutions. At the same time, data center operators are increasingly seeking comprehensive service providers that can deliver not only equipment and installation but also maintenance and ongoing support to ensure stable and reliable performance.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is a Tokyo-based global manufacturer with operations spanning electronics, industrial automation, and building systems. Its subsidiary Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems S.p.A. specializes in HVAC and cooling systems, and the acquisition of the APAC and COMPAC groups positions the company to deliver integrated sales, installation, and maintenance services as demand for data center cooling continues to grow across Europe.
