COFINAIR, a leading European player in cooling solutions, announces the construction of its future industrial site in Criquetot-sur-Longueville (Seine-Maritime, France). This strategic project will support the Group’s industrial transformation and the creation of COFINAIR France by 2027.

A major industrial investment to support growth

COFINAIR is investing more than €25 million, representing nearly one-third of its 2025 revenue (€75 million). The objective is clear: to accelerate the Group’s growth and reach €100 million in revenue by 2030, notably by expanding into high-potential markets such as data centers.

A single site to enhance industrial performance

The future facility will consolidate activities currently spread across three sites in Normandy. Built on a 4-hectare site, it will offer nearly 16,000 sqm of floor space, integrating production, logistics, R&D, and office areas.

Designed as a next-generation industrial facility, it will:

  • increase production capacity;
  • optimize industrial flows;
  • enhance competitiveness;
  • reduce lead times.

A project supporting employment and regional development

The project includes the transfer of existing teams with no job cuts, alongside progressive recruitment aligned with the site’s ramp-up. It reinforces COFINAIR’s long-term commitment to the Normandy region and its industrial footprint in France.

Addressing the markets of tomorrow

With this new facility, COFINAIR is accelerating its positioning in fast-growing sectors:

  • data centers
  • hydrogen
  • carbon capture

These markets, driven in particular by the rise of artificial intelligence, require high-performance and sustainable cooling solutions.

A facility designed with environmental performance in mind

The project incorporates a strong environmental approach, including:

  • photovoltaic energy production
  • landscaped green areas
  • optimized energy consumption

The ambition is to combine industrial performance with environmental responsibility.

A long-term industrial vision

Backed by a family-owned shareholder structure, COFINAIR is able to pursue long-term strategic investments, supporting sustainable growth and industrial excellence.
