GROUPE ATLANTIC is investing 150 million euros in a new heat pump manufacturing facility in Saône-et-Loire (71), France

This new industrial facility for manufacturing heat pumps is located in the Greater Chalon region, in Saône-et-Loire. It will cover an area of 35,000 square meters within a 19-hectare industrial park.

A Commitment to the Low-Carbon Transition and Job Creation

This project demonstrates our commitment to addressing the challenge of the low-carbon transition in the construction sector, as well as to ensuring France’s industrial sovereignty. We have set a goal of manufacturing an additional 180,000 units by 2028. This expansion is also expected to create 300 jobs in various sectors, such as logistics, manufacturing, and research and development (R&D).

A major industrial project

GROUPE ATLANTIC currently operates two heat pump manufacturing plants in France, located in the Hauts-de-France region. We have also recently invested in Clade Engineering Systems (Clade), the leading British manufacturer of natural refrigerant CO2 heat pumps.

“Our future heat pump facility in Chalon-sur-Saône will, like our 24 other sites across Europe, be located as close as possible to our European customers. Situated in a dynamic industrial region, it will complement production at our Merville and Billy Berclau sites, particularly for heat pump outdoor units. It will benefit from the expertise of our Group’s industrial teams and our partners. We can be proud of this major industrial project in France, which reaffirms our Group’s commitment to producing renewable energy solutions.”

An additional 180,000 units per year by 2028

This new plant and the investment of nearly 150 million euros over four years will enable the company to manufacture an additional 180,000 units per year by 2028: monobloc outdoor units and indoor units, with a primary focus on outdoor units.

Construction will begin in 2024, with production scheduled to start in late 2025 and a potential expansion in 2027.
