Daikin Ireland has continued its expansion in the country with the opening of the new office in Cork. Munster now accounts for around 40% of Daikin’s growth in Ireland, with the new Cork office catering for commercial, industrial and residential clients across the region.
Located in Eastgate Business Park, Little Island, Daikin’s new Cork office will provide a full suite of design, sales and after-sales services to clients in the residential heating, commercial air conditioning and industrial process sectors. The new office will enhance Daikin’s support to Munster-based clients, including commercial offices, hotels and hospitality businesses, and especially pharmaceutical firms.
The Cork office will accommodate 12 people initially, although the company’s expansion is expected to create up to 10 new jobs in the next 24 months. In addition to design, sales and after-sales, the new facility has a training centre where heating and plumbing engineers will train and learn about the company’s latest products and technology.
Renowned for its energy-efficient and environmentally friendly HVAC solutions, Daikin is at the forefront of Ireland’s transition to renewable energy across residential, commercial and industrial sectors. In the past eight years alone, Daikin Ireland has experienced growth in all market sectors, including residential, commercial, pharma and data centres.
Speaking about the new Cork office, Michael Sheehan, General Manager, Daikin Ireland, commented, “We are in a period of strong, rapid growth in Ireland and around 40% of that growth is being driven by clients here in the Munster region.”
Sheehan, a Cork city native and graduate of MTU, added: “Our new facility here in Little Island will allow us to better support our Munster client base with a full range of services, including technical expertise, cooling and heating solutions and energy-efficient air conditioning products across all of the sectors we serve. Having a dedicated presence here in Munster will also enable us to develop new business across key sectors.”
He concluded, “Daikin technology can help clients to achieve their carbon emission objectives, which is essential if we are to get closer to our national climate targets.”
