In line with the Danfoss LEAP 2030 strategy, the acquisition of Palladio Compressors marks an expansion of the company's broad compressor portfolio, covering applications from light commercial comfort to large-scale process cooling, heating, and refrigeration. Over the past two years, Danfoss and Palladio have evaluated technological synergies, particularly in high-lift heat pumps. Integrating Palladio's screw compressors with Danfoss' existing technologies promises competitive and advanced high-temperature solutions.

Fabio Klein, Divisional President, Danfoss Commercial Compressors, states:

“We are thrilled to welcome Palladio Compressors and its talented team into the Danfoss family. This acquisition broadens our technological capabilities and reinforces our commitment to decarbonization across industries. Palladio's advanced technology complements our portfolio, enhancing our compressor solutions for industrial heat pumps and large commercial and industrial refrigeration.”

Expanding market reach and competitive offerings 

The Palladio range introduces screw technology, addressing the limited offerings of advanced, non-captive screw compressors. Danfoss is well-positioned to support customers entering new markets with compressors utilizing natural and low-GWP refrigerants. The screw technology is particularly relevant for middle-range energy intensity applications. When deciding on a suitable compressor for their systems, customers consider factors such as size, energy intensity, and payback period requirements. Screw offerings allows the company to address this middle market segment.

The newly branded Danfoss Screw range will benefit from increased investment in R&D, production, and sales capacities, ensuring robust capabilities and market presence.

By integrating screw technology into its suite of compressors, valves, controls, heat exchangers, and sensors, Danfoss reinforces its commitment to delivering greener and more efficient solutions worldwide.

David Candio, CEO, Palladio Compressors, comments:

“Joining Danfoss is a transformative opportunity for Palladio Compressors. Together, we can leverage our combined expertise to drive innovation and expand our global reach. We are committed to providing increased options and seamless business continuity for our customers."

Strategic focus and growth plans

Palladio Compressors will join the Danfoss Commercial Compressors division from October 1, 2025. This acquisition aligns with Danfoss’ strategic focus to expand and grow market presence. Danfoss is committed to hiring additional personnel, including R&D specialists, engineers, and technicians, to support facility growth and innovation.
