Samsung Electronics is bringing production of its heat pump boilers home, betting that a locally made system can help accelerate the electrification of residential heating in Korea.
The company said Monday that it began trial production Aug. 19 at a new 2,132-square-meter line at its Gwangju plant, with full-scale production scheduled to begin in late September, after equipment and product quality checks.
The move makes Samsung the first heat pump manufacturer participating in Korea’s heating electrification programs to shift production from an overseas facility to a domestic production line, the company said.
