Güntner

For over 80 years now, Güntner GmbH & Co. KG has been a leader in refrigeration and air conditioning technology. Right from the very start, Güntner has always emphasized an extra, personal touch by keeping in close contact with its customers while developing solutions optimized to meet the specific needs of their markets and business sectors. From its beginnings as a service and repair shop for refrigeration equipment all the way to its current position as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of refrigeration components and systems, Güntner has acquired a wealth of experience throughout this field, experience that it applies to bring the greatest benefit to its customers during consultation, planning and implementation.

In 1931 in Munich, Germany, Hans Güntner established a repair service specializing in refrigeration equipment. After the war, in addition to continuing to offer repair service, the company increasingly focused on producing its own refrigeration system components. The need for components for refrigeration systems continued to increase and so, over the years, the company eventually grew to be a very successful mid-sized enterprise. Soon the original workshop in Munich became too small. As a result, in 1950 the company moved into larger facilities in nearby Germering. At the start of the 1980’s, the company then moved to its current location in Fürstenfeldbruck, farther out from Munich.

To meet the ever growing demand for refrigeration equipment on the European market, in 1990 Güntner formed a partnership with the Hungarian refrigeration company Hütötechnik. This joint venture started operations in the Güntner Tata production plant in Tata, Hungary. In 2003, Güntner purchased its Hungarian partner and the Güntner Tata facility was integrated into the overall Güntner Group. Today, in fact, the production plant in Tata is the largest one within the Güntner Group. It was at this plant in 2008, that two new production lines were set up for Güntner’s innovative microox® technology.
