Climanova is a well-established company specializing in technical solutions for cooling, climate control, and heating. With its bases in Eede (NL) in the southwestern province of Zeeland and in Ghent (BE), Climanova brings new geographic coverage and high technical expertise to the Group.
Founded in 1987 Climanova has approximately 45 employees and a turnover of around Euro 13 million (2024). The company holds a strong position in the industrial segment (81% of turnover), with additional clients in commercial real estate and the agro & food industry.
“Climanova is an excellent strategic addition to the Nordic Climate Group. They have a strong local brand with long industry experience, cutting-edge technical expertise in our core areas, and primarily work with installations using the natural refrigerants CO2 and Propane. This acquisition strengthens our presence in the southwest Netherlands and marks the first step on in Belgium markets where Climanova also has a strong foundation”, says Erik Snijders, CEO for Nordic Climate Group in the Netherlands.
Climanova brings over 30 years of experience and a strong reputation for combining consultancy, execution, and long-term service. Operating through three business units – Industrial Solutions, Buildings & Facilities, and Agro & Food – the company is known for its practical, hands-on approach and tailored technical solutions for demanding clients in industry, utilities, and agriculture.
Founder and CEO Harold Buijsse is proud of the acquisition by Nordic Climate Group:
“In Climanova we combine the capabilities of a professional player with the pragmatism of a regional family business,” says Harold Buijsse, founder of Climanova. “Joining Nordic Climate Group enables us to serve our clients even better, while staying true to what sets us apart: personal contact, customized solutions, and reliability.”
With this addition, the group significantly expands its presence in Southwest Netherlands and Flanders, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of sustainable climate and refrigeration solutions in Northwestern Europe.
The current CTO and co-owner, Geert Engels, is looking forward to the partnership and cooperation with Nordic Climate Group:
“Becoming part of Nordic Climate Group is a natural next step for Climanova. We look forward to further developing together with a strong and long-term partner, where we can contribute with our expertise while gaining access to a broader network and knowledge exchange,” says Geert.
The acquisition is part of Nordic Climate Group’s strategy to bring together strong local companies with a shared focus on energy efficiency and sustainable climate solutions across Europe.
