The world's biggest heat pump and air conditioning manufacturers has expanded its presence in this country.
Daikin has now moved into a new $30 million warehouse facility in the Christchurch suburb Hornby.
The move follows the growth in popularity of heat pumps - according to Stats NZ two thirds of homes in New Zealand now have the devices installed.
The technology has also played a big role in industrial companies decarbonising equipment away from gas or coal boilers where possible, many of these have been co-funded by the now closed Government Investment in Decarbonising Industry Fund.
