Danfoss has purchased minority shares in Nelumbo, an American start-up company located in Hayward, California. Nelumbo has developed a unique surface treatment technology that can be used for improved heat exchanger performance and corrosion resistance.

2018 is a special year for Danfoss Drives, and a milestone in the company’s history. Fifty years ago, Danfoss began to mass-produce AC drives. Since then, Danfoss has been a forerunner in drives technology and digital solutions that enable customers to thrive in a world that is rapidly changing.

Danfoss and The Pennsylvania State University at Philadelphia recently convened a workshop at Penn State’s School of Engineering campus at The Navy Yard in Philadelphia to examine results of a joint research-education initiative. Last year, Danfoss provided a grant to support the University’s 13-week Immersive Internship in Global Sustainability Practices and launched the collaborative Engineering Tomorrow’s Cities initiative to grow the global workforce needed to support a sustainable, low-carbon community built environment worldwide.
