About Sanz Clima
Sanz Clima Group is a Spanish family-owned business that has been developing, manufacturing and assembling air-conditioning and heating systems (HVAC) for mobile applications since 1956. The product range includes electric HVAC units for trains and trams, standard and hydraulic air conditioning systems for agricultural machinery and cranes, custom solutions for military and special applications, as well as heat pump roof units and cool boxes for motorhomes. Manufacturing is carried out to customer specifications from prototype construction through series production and assembly; aluminium has been the central manufacturing material since 2004. The offering is complemented by telematics services (Clima.Center) for remote maintenance and diagnostics, as well as spare parts and air purifiers. The headquarters is located in Madrid, with further plants and companies in Bremen (SANZ Dreiha GmbH), Poznan (Poland), Caxias do Sul (Brazil) and Fairmont (Minnesota, USA, SANZ Kenway). Customers include Renfe, Talgo, MAN and Eberspächer; around 55% of products go to buses and coaches, 45% to trains, special-purpose vehicles, industrial cranes and cabins.
