About LU-VE Deutschland
LU-VE Deutschland GmbH, based in Stuttgart (Bruno-Jacoby-Weg 10), is the official sales company of the Italian LU-VE Group and headquarters of the DACH cluster for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The company sells refrigeration and air-conditioning components under the LUVE Exchangers brand, including air-cooled heat exchangers, industrial air coolers, condensers, heat exchangers for display cases and refrigerated showcases, as well as adiabatic coolers of the Refrion brand, acquired in 2022. Production takes place mainly at the SEST LU-VE plant in Gliwice (Poland), the Group's largest plant with around 1,000 employees, two factories and a total of 92,000 m² of floor space; large air coolers and condensers are also manufactured there. The products are designed, among other things, for natural refrigerants such as CO₂ (R744) as well as for A2L refrigerants. Customers come from refrigeration and food cooling, industrial cooling, air conditioning/HVAC, data centers, and energy and power plant engineering. The offering is complemented by spare parts sales via a central Spare Parts Hub.
