Samsung building an empire beyond phones and HVAC is next
Samsung is putting tremendous efforts into the HVAC segment beyond its current business. With the growing demand for AI continuing to spike, the company has already felt what’s needed for the AI infrastructure.
The South Korean tech giant’s HVAC bet just got very real in Milan. The company closed a €1.5 billion acquisition of FläktGroup in November 2025, and now they’re showing off what that money bought at MCE 2026.
FläktGroup is Europe’s largest HVAC company, which sounds boring until you realize what they actually do. The company grabbed serious market share in data centers with liquid and air cooling products that help customers slash energy consumption.
When Samsung is talking about AI infrastructure growth, they are not talking about consumer gadgets. They’re talking about racks and racks of servers that need constant cooling, or they melt into expensive slag.
The plan is to invest in commercial HVAC solutions and chase high-growth sectors like AI data centers, large factories, commercial complexes, hospitals, and biopharmaceutical facilities across Korea, North America, and Europe.
Samsung is displaying five types of FläktGroup indoor units.
The CAIRplus air handling unit is built for large scale central systems and handles temperature, humidity, and air purification for massive spaces.
The Geko fan coil unit is thin, quiet, and designed to fit where other units can’t. These connect to Samsung’s DVM S2+ outdoor units, which now use R32 refrigerant.
The 2026 AI WindFree Combo Pro Wall-Mounted unit got a redesign in cooling performance and now includes AI Motion Airflow, which picks air currents based on how you actually use a room.
Then there’s the EHS lineup, which is Eco Heating System in Samsung speak. The All-in-One variant launched this year uses both water and air to deliver cooling, heating, and hot water.
