According to company spokespeople, Enex Technologies is today the only OEM that can offer a complete portfolio of natural refrigerant solutions at scale, doubling the range of common market offerings.
This integrated portfolio now allows the company to develop and launch a new product every month.

To support its strong growth, Enex Technologies recently invested more than €8 million in a new 7,500 m2 headquarters and factory in Treviso, Italy and is currently making a €6 million investment in a new, best-in-class research laboratory, which will be the only one in Europe specializing in HVACR equipment running on the 4 natural refrigerants available.
In addition, Enex Technologies has a financial plan for 2024 that expects to reach €200 million in sales, doubling its results compared to 2022. Meanwhile, Enex's five-year plan foresees sales of €350 million in 2027.
According to Eurostat, EU buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. In Italy, heating residential, commercial and public buildings accounts for more than 17.7% of CO2 emissions, according to data from Ispra.
