July 18, 2025

KYOTO, Japan — The Nidec Global Appliance brand Embraco, which provides refrigeration technology for the residential and commercial cold chain, will significantly expand its product offerings.

As part of Nidec’s growth strategy, the company recently acquired Xecom, a manufacturer of scroll compressors, and the move extends Embraco’s capabilities to the HVAC market while broadening its presence in the refrigeration segment.

“This is a milestone for Nidec Global Appliance and Embraco, as it now becomes a brand for all climates,” said Alberto Casnati, president of Nidec Global Appliance, in a press release. “This acquisition positions us as a more robust player in scroll technology, empowered to deliver high-performance solutions for refrigeration, heating, and air-conditioning while enhancing our technological capabilities. The expanded scroll portfolio is tailored to meet the diverse needs of OEMs and the aftermarket in both residential and commercial segments and comply with strict international regulations.”

Scroll compressors, renowned for their reliability, energy efficiency, and extended cooling capacity, have already been part of Embraco’s portfolio, and this product offering expansion is a pivotal addition to the brand’s market position. The new lineup includes solutions for commercial and residential applications such as cold rooms, heat pumps, rooftop chillers, packaged units, and central ducted home air conditioners. The newly integrated scroll compressors line ranges from 1.2 HP to 35 HP and supports multiple refrigerants, including R410A, R404A, low-GWP options, A2Ls, and R290.

“We will be taking advantage of our sales and distribution channels as well as of our expertise in energy-efficient and reliable technologies to better support our customers across a wider range of applications,” Casnati said. “Our ultimate goal is to do it while maintaining our unwavering values of trust, excellence, and optimal service levels.”
