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 Compressors) 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.”
Because today, Secop is a leader in the most relevant markets for both the present and the future:
Refrigeration solutions for electric vehicles – supporting the future of mobility. Medical innovations that ensure the delivery of medicines even in the most remote areas and the safe storage of mRNA vaccines are the future of vaccinations and advanced treatments. And the adoption of green refrigerants – ushering in a new era of sustainable refrigeration. Highlights include:
- The launch of a dedicated medical range to address the pandemic crisis and support healthcare systems in developing countries;
- The introduction of the BD Nano – the most compact, silent, and energy-efficient compressor, now transforming the electric vehicle market through onboard refrigeration solutions;
- The expansion of our natural refrigerant portfolio based on propane, helping OEMs transition to sustainable technologies and comply with new environmental regulations.
To mark this occasion, we are embarking on a global anniversary tour, visiting all key Secop locations to honor what truly defines our brand: people, innovation, support, development, and know-how.
