\u201cWe focus on our long-term commitment to local society,\u201d Furihata explained. \u201cInvolving our partners, especially certified dealers, is key to supporting our efforts.\u201d This philosophy underpins Daikin\u2019s success and its ability to meet Australia\u2019s unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local production has been central to Daikin\u2019s operations since 1982, when it began manufacturing duct-type indoor units for Australian homes. In 1997, Daikin pioneered the introduction of highly energy-efficient inverter technology to the Australian market \u2014 a transformative innovation that has since become the standard, with nearly 100% of products in the market now utilizing inverters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004, Daikin established a local research and development department, which has since evolved into a cutting-edge center. This facility enables rapid responses to market demands and the development of Australia-specific solutions. Recent expansions to Daikin Park, an integrated logistics, sales, service and trade center, further support local customers. Starting in New South Wales in 2018, the system spans Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and soon Western Australia, enhancing operational efficiency and promoting local employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proudly holding Australian Made certification, Daikin\u2019s locally produced products reflect its commitment to quality and sustainability, inspiring confidence among its 500 certified dealers who ensure comprehensive service for end users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
