 In the last two years, the Spanish air conditioning industry has grown 25 per cent, reaching the numbers already achieved by the heating sector, reports "Clima Notícias". The reasons for this increase are the good Spanish climate, the lack of air conditioners in the homes and a better standard of living in the country. Last year, the sector had a turnover of 1.600 million euro, similar to the results of the heating industry.
According to AFEC (Association of HVAC equipment manufacturers), FEGECA (Association of the Spanish manufacturers of heat and hot water generators) and ANEFRYC (Spanish Association of Industrial Refrigeration), the HVAC sector, which includes the manufacturers and installers of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipments, had, last year, a turnover of 6.000 million euro.
The HVAC companies in Spain employ more than 35.000 workers and sell technology to other countries by an amount of approximately 500 million euro.
Aurelio García, AFEC's president, refers that the air conditioning manufacturers had a turnover of 1.600 million euro, of which 225 million euro were destined to export. The refrigeration sector had a sales volume of 800 million euro (105 million in export), and the heating sector had a turnover of 1.600 million euro, of which 160 million euro from export. |
