SWEDEN: Swedish HVAC manufacturer Swegon has secured its largest order to date for Volvo Cars’ new electric vehicle plant in Košice, Slovakia.

“This win is a testament to our Gold air handling unit being a suitable solution also for industrial applications. Our ability to adapt to the customer’s specific demands in this project was crucial,” said Swegon CEO Andreas Örje Wellstam
