Multi Air Conditioning System for Buildings

Aiming at further expansion of air conditioner business
|

It has been 41 years since we started air conditioner business
in 1961. During that time, we have expanded our production facilities
to overseas centering on China and Thailand to be able to supply
our room air conditioners and packaged air conditioners to all
over the world.
In order to meet the demand of our world-wide business partners,
we started to sell a multi air conditioning system for buildings
"*VRF System " 
in August and entered into this growing market in full scale.
We will start the business from overseas market.
*VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow, and
is a trademark of Fujitsu General Limited.
