Company Overview
This is where the transformation starts
If we are to succeed in meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement, we must break the global emissions curve. To do this we need to be smarter with our energy use. Across the world, our sustainable smart technologies power industries and cities, secure a reliable food supply, and create healthier, more comfortable indoor climates. They drive the uptake of renewables for tomorrow's smart energy systems, where shipping and on- and off-highway machinery are powered by hybrid and electric motors.

Company History
Our journey to Engineering Tomorrow began on September 1, 1933, when Mads Clausen founded Danfoss in his parents’ farmhouse in Nordborg, Denmark. Since then, the business has grown from a solo enterprise into one of the world’s leading suppliers of innovative and energy-efficient solutions.
