Termoven 🇪🇸

Termoven is a Madrid-based manufacturer of industrial air-conditioning that has never appeared on television yet is located within half of Madrid. The company was founded on June 1, 1979, in the midst of the transition and at a time when the first generation of Spanish manufacturers (Interclisa, Roca, Klimat, Elyte) was beginning to be taken over by foreign owners. Its specialty is the “engineering machine”: air‑treatment units, rooftops, chillers and custom equipment for projects that do not fit into a catalogue, and its clientele consists of engineering firms and installers, not the end consumer.

The company has its factory in Campo Real, southeast of Madrid, in facilities covering 13,000 square meters with more than 140 professionals, and boasts having climate-controlled everything from sports pavilions to hospitals. A recent and nearby example: the air conditioning of the Palacio de los Deportes Andrés Torrejón in Móstoles was solved with Termoven equipment. In the commercial registers it is classified as a manufacturer of non‑domestic air‑conditioning equipment, and its history is that of a niche Spanish manufacturer that survived the entry of multinationals precisely by not competing with them in the split market.

For Frostalgia, Termoven is of interest as a counterpart to domestic brands: there are no Termoven devices on Wallapop, but there are on the rooftops of public buildings in the Community of Madrid, often with plates from the 80s and 90s still legible. Its historical archive —founders, first models, licenses, if any— is not published, and it is one of the missing pieces in the industrial history of the sector.

Founders, original headquarters in Madrid, year of relocation to Campo Real and whether it ever worked with foreign licenses.
