Nidec affiliated brand Embraco expands its scroll compressors portfolio and enters the HVAC market

The new product lines cater for commercial applications such as cold rooms, heat pumps, rooftop chillers, and packaged units, as well as central ducted residential air conditioners

2025, July – Nidec Global Appliance (GA) announces that its brand Embraco, a global provider of refrigeration technology for the residential and commercial cold chain, will significantly expand its product offerings. As part of GA’s growth strategy, the company has acquired the scroll compressors manufacturer Xecom, and this acquisition extends Embraco’s capabilities to the heating and air conditioning (HVAC) markets while broadening its presence in the refrigeration segment, solidifying its position as a complete solutions provider.

Alberto Casnati, President of Nidec Global Appliance, emphasizes the game-changing impact of this move: “This is a milestone for Nidec Global Appliance and Embraco, as it now becomes a brand for all climates. This acquisition positions us as a more robust player in scroll technology, empowered to deliver high-performance solutions for refrigeration, heating, and air-conditioning while enhancing our technological capabilities. The expanded scroll portfolio is tailored to meet the diverse needs of OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and the aftermarket in both residential and commercial segments and comply with strict international regulations.”

Scroll compressors, renowned for their reliability, energy efficiency, and extended cooling capacity, have already been part of Embraco’s portfolio, and this product offering expansion is a pivotal addition to the brand’s market position. Under the concept “One Brand, All Climates”, Embraco introduces a portfolio that extends its presence in refrigeration to heating and air conditioning. The new lineup includes solutions for commercial and residential applications such as cold rooms, heat pumps, rooftop chillers, packaged units, and central ducted home air conditioners.
