Powered by Experience, Inspired by the Future
This milestone is far more than an anniversary of a brand. It is a celebration of a journey that spans over 65 years of technological excellence, human dedication, and shared ambition in the field of refrigeration. Today, we come together not only to honour 15 years of Secop but to pay tribute to the people behind it — the engineers, technicians, partners, students, and visionaries who have shaped this company into a global force for innovation and reliability.
We celebrate the breakthroughs that have enabled the safe preservation of food, medicines, and vaccines worldwide — protecting lives, supporting healthcare systems, and enriching everyday moments, from family holidays to vital cold chains in remote regions. We celebrate our long-standing partnerships, the co-developed solutions, and the challenges that have pushed us to become stronger and better, together. This is a time to reflect on the legacy that grounds us — and to draw inspiration from the future we are committed to building with resilience, creativity, and purpose.
“Powered by experience…
because Secop (former Danfoss Compressor) developed key technologies for the current refrigeration market
- 1972 – SC compressors, the birth of a standard-setting platform in the light commercial market;
- 1977 – Pioneer in designing and launching battery-driven DC compressors (BD-Series);
- 1993 – Among the first to develop technology enabling the use of natural refrigerants;
- 1998 – Among the first to introduce variable-speed technology for compressors.
... inspired by the future.”

- 2022 – Launch of the dedicated medical range to help tackle the pandemic crisis and support healthcare in developing countries;
