Few companies can claim to be as embedded in Australian life as Daikin. Since first arriving in 1969, the brand has gone beyond providing air conditioners; today, it is a trusted partner in shaping how Australians live, work, and breathe. With more than half a century of presence, three consecutive Trusted Brand awards (2023-2025), and factories that bring together people from over 30 nationalities, Daikin\u2019s story in Australia is one of resilience, innovation, and deep local commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end of 2025 marked another milestone with the opening of Daikin\u2019s second factory in Sydney, supported by the NSW Government. The new facility not only expands local manufacturing capacity but also reduces transport emissions and boosts renewable energy use \u2014 clear signs of a company investing for the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the helm of this vision is Hideaki Furihata, Managing Director of Daikin Australia, who sees Daikin\u2019s role as extending far beyond temperature control. \u201cWhat we\u2019re really delivering,\u201d he notes, “is peace of mind \u2014 healthy, efficient, and dependable environments for families and workplaces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this exclusive Bridges conversation, Furihata shares Daikin\u2019s journey of blending Japanese precision with Australian practicality, the evolving meaning of comfort, and how sustainability drives the company\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marking a Milestone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bridges:<\/strong> Your second factory has recently celebrated its official opening. When you look at it, what story does it tell about Daikin\u2019s journey in Australia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Furihata:<\/strong> It tells a story of local commitment and long-term investment. Daikin has been part of the Australian landscape since 1969, and since establishing local manufacturing in the 1980s, we\u2019ve continued to grow alongside the communities we serve. At a time when many manufacturers are moving offshore, we\u2019re expanding\u2014backed by investment support from the NSW Government, which has helped us create 60 new full-time jobs in manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This second factory isn\u2019t just a building – it\u2019s a statement that we\u2019re here for the long haul. It increases our capacity to make large commercial products like rooftop units and air handling systems, tailored specifically for the Australian market. It also reflects the strength and diversity of our team, with more than 30 nationalities represented on the factory floor. It\u2019s proof that Daikin isn\u2019t just operating in Australia, we\u2019re growing alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greener by Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Daikin is known for its commitment to sustainability. Can you share how the new facility will make everyday life a little better \u2014 for customers, communities, and the environment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We believe sustainability is most effective when it\u2019s built into everyday operations. One of the biggest environmental gains with our new facility comes from co-locating our raw materials warehouse on-site, which removes over 1,000 heavy vehicle trips from local roads each year and significantly cuts transport emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
From design to delivery, Daikin\u2019s certified Australian Made products reflect a commitment to local quality. | \u00a9 Genesis Salao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, we\u2019ll expand our solar PV installation to cover over 50% of the site\u2019s electricity usage, up from about 30% today. This is part of a broader shift toward low-emission manufacturing. Many of our locally made products also carry the Australian Made certification, and we work closely with local suppliers and businesses throughout the production process. It\u2019s a model that benefits customers, the environment, and the broader community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tale of Two Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s one way that Japanese craftsmanship or innovation has shaped the way Daikin operates in Australia – and vice versa?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Daikin\u2019s strength lies in blending Japanese engineering precision with a deep understanding of Australian market conditions. On our factory floor, that means applying rigorous quality standards, hallmarks of Japanese manufacturing, while also designing products like ducted systems, rooftop units, and air handling systems specifically for local building types, climates, and customer needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 2004, Daikin\u2019s Sydney-based R&D team tailors global innovation for the Australian market. | \u00a9 Brandee Meier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the local team plays a major role in influencing product development. Our R&D and manufacturing teams work side-by-side with local suppliers, and the result is innovation grounded in practicality. Our Australian Made certified products reflect this collaborative approach: engineered with global know-how, but built to perform in real homes, schools, and workplaces across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort Beyond Temperature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When people think of Daikin, they think of air conditioning. But at its heart, you\u2019re creating environments people live and work in. What does \u201ccomfort\u201d mean to you on a personal level?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Comfort, to me, is about confidence: knowing your home or workplace is not only at the right temperature, but healthy, efficient, and dependable. We often talk about air conditioning as a product, but what we\u2019re really delivering is peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1982, Daikin\u2019s first Australian factory has been the foundation of its local manufacturing presence. | \u00a9 Genesis Salao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That might mean reduced allergens for a growing family, reliable performance during peak summer days, or simply having a system that blends into your space quietly and elegantly. Whether it\u2019s through Australian-designed features or our broader push into air quality and energy-efficient solutions, we see comfort as a lived experience and we\u2019re here to support that behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s also why most of our split systems, meant for residential spaces, and all of our air purifiers carry the Sensitive Choice approval from the National Asthma Council Australia, a mark of confidence for families managing allergies and asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If we were sitting down for another interview five years from now, what would you love to be telling us about Daikin Australia\u2019s impact?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love to say we\u2019ve continued to expand local manufacturing, created more secure jobs for Australians, and made meaningful progress in sustainable, electrified solutions like hot water heat pumps and integrated smart home systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

We want to be seen not just as an air conditioning manufacturer, but as a trusted partner in creating healthier, more efficient homes and buildings. That includes deeper collaboration with our 500+ specialist dealers nationwide and supporting the local supply chain wherever we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re proud that many of our products are Australian Made certified, and that our factories bring together people from over 30 countries across multiple generations. That combination of diversity, innovation, and local investment is the future we\u2019re building right here in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
