(Jakarta), This year Daikin Indonesia turns 50 years old, since its first presence in Indonesia in 1970. At the age of half a century in Indonesia, Daikin continues to be committed to providing quality and reliable products for Indonesian consumers. Daikin's products always strive to be solutions for the Indonesian people in the field of air conditioning.
Daikin entered the air conditioning business officially in Indonesia in 1970 through an official distributor called Daikin Aircond, 46 years after its presence in Japan in 1924. As a pioneering air conditioning company, Daikin began introducing VRV (variable refrigerant volume) type air conditioners, large capacity air conditioners. for multi-storey buildings.
Four decades after Daikin's presence in Indonesia, in 2012 it was taken over by Daikin Japan and Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia was officially established. Daikin gets bigger from year to year. Initially, the number of Daikin dealers in 2012 was only 150 dealers, but then in March 2013, the national Daikin dealer network reached 500 and now the number has reached more than 1,200 spread throughout the archipelago, supported by more than 500 service center points in 30 provinces. This number will certainly continue to grow every year. Also in 2013, sales of AC VRV reached a record of 10,000 units, a positive development for us.
In April 2014, Daikin launched the first new AC Single Split R32 product in Indonesia. At the same time, Indonesia became the first country in Asean to prohibit the import of air conditioners using R22. As a global brand, Freon R32 or refrigerant R32 is a product initiated by Daikin globally in 2012. This R32 is an environmentally friendly product, in which Daikin takes a role in responding to the challenges of global warming.
Next, Daikin will further strengthen its presence in Indonesia, as a premium brand after Daikin for the first time in 2015 reached one of the largest selling air conditioner manufacturers in Indonesia.
Since then, Daikin has continued to complement its products in Indonesia for a variety of residential, office, commercial and industrial consumers. Not only AC products with various technologies have been successfully embedded, up to various types of air purifiers.
With the growing and high public trust in the AC Daikin brand. The need for proper air conditioning installation and maintenance is very important. So in 2018 Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia inaugurated the National Training Center which aims to increase expertise through both online and offline training regarding air conditioning systems. This seriousness is marked by the signing of the MOU with the Ministry of Education and Culture as a strengthening of the link and match between the business world and the industrial world (DU / DI).
The success of Daikin Indonesia's half-century journey is manifested in the commitment and enthusiasm to continue working from more than 1000 professional employees who are currently spread across 14 branches and the support of business partners and loyal consumers who are always proud to use our products.
Daikin strives to provide the best solution for the needs of Air Conditioning for all Indonesian people. Always ensure the supply and distribution chain can be fulfilled by expanding the sales area for superior products and services. This belief makes us continue to improve the quality of service through integrated training provision for technicians on the air conditioning system.
For us, maintaining harmony with the natural and social environment where Daikin Indonesia is a daily part of its business, fosters a sense of togetherness and an attitude of cooperation based on the awareness of mutual need for one another.
It is our honor for the trust of Indonesian consumers for 50 years of travel in providing air conditioning solutions and creating comfort in Indonesia.
The 50th anniversary of Daikin Indonesia amid pandemic conditions has not dampened our enthusiasm for work. We continue to foster determination to continue to advance, develop and innovate in the quality of our products and services throughout Indonesia.
