This represents the largest production facility investment handlers. To support its Electric Heat Pump System (EHS) solutions, Samsung has established a dedicated training center at the Gwangju site its CS Academy in 37 years. Suwon, South Korea. The center allows B2B partners and engineers to practice installation and AI-based smart diagnostics using the Home Appliances Smart Service (HASS) program. This training initiative supports South Korean government goals for high-efficiency heat pump distribution. Additionally, the Gwangju plant has established a new 2,132-square-meter production line for EHS heat pump boilers. Trial production for this line began on August 19, 2026, with full-scale mass production scheduled for late September 2026. With an annual capacity of over 100,000 units, the line is intended for the domestic South Korean market. This move serves as a reshoring effort to support government-led heating electrification policies. Samsung aims to integrate FläktGroup’s technology with its ‘SmartThings Pro’ platform to target leadership in the global smart building and energy management markets by 2030.
