Belimo Celebrates 50 Years Globally – A Half-Century Journey of Innovation

2025 marks a historic milestone for Belimo — the global leader in control devices for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems — as it officially celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Over five decades of continuous innovation and development, Belimo has established itself as a global pioneer in the research, manufacturing, and supply of HVAC control devices, with a strong focus on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

This special occasion is not only a moment to reflect on the journey so far but also an opportunity for Belimo worldwide to connect, honor its people, and look toward the future — true to its core spirit: “Together to the Top.”

A 50-Year Journey – From a Small Swiss Kitchen to Global HVAC Leadership

Founded in 1975 in Switzerland, Belimo began with a bold vision and a strong strategic focus on technological innovation and energy optimization for buildings.

Today, Belimo is not only a symbol of Swiss quality but also the world’s No.1 manufacturer of damper actuators, control valves, and sensors for HVAC systems. Its products are trusted in millions of projects worldwide, including commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, data centers, and major airports.

Focused Beginnings – The First Step That Shaped the HVAC Industry

With six dedicated founders — Walter Burkhalter, Anton Heinrich Hütte, Ludwig Linsi, Walter Linsi, Werner Roner, and Karl Stocker — Belimo was established to deliver practical solutions for the HVAC industry.

In 1976, just one year after its founding, Belimo introduced an actuator that reduced installation time by two-thirds — a breakthrough that revolutionized the efficiency of HVAC system installation and operation.

Five Decades of Innovation Milestones

• 1988: Expansion into the United States, starting from a small kitchen and evolving into a major production and operational hub in Danbury with over 400 employees
• 1992: Pioneered brushless DC motor technology, reducing energy consumption by up to 80%
• 1995: Listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, opening a new chapter of independence and long-term sustainable growth
• 1997: Entry into Asia with the establishment of Belimo Asia Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong — now the fastest-growing region
• 1998: Entry into HVAC water control valves (globe, ball, and pressure-independent valves), significantly expanding its portfolio

Breakthrough products include:

• Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICCV – 2003)
• Belimo Energy Valve (2012), continuously improved through four generations and globally awarded
• Sensor range (2017) covering temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow

These innovations reflect more than four decades of commitment to reliability, innovation, and real-world value creation.

Recent Milestones and Sustainability Commitment

• 2019: Reached 100 million actuators produced since inception; launched room sensors to enhance energy efficiency and user comfort
• 2022: Established the Belimo Climate Foundation to reduce CO₂ emissions and improve HVAC performance in educational and healthcare buildings
• 2024: Introduced the high-performance M600 chip for HVAC control devices, enabling adaptive operation, improved reliability, and energy savings

PGTECH Vietnam – Proud to Join Belimo’s 50-Year Celebration

In June 2025, the CEO of PGTECH GROUP LIMITED — the official distributor of Belimo HVAC control solutions in Vietnam — attended the Belimo Asia Pacific 2025 Conference at the global headquarters in Hinwil, Switzerland.

The event gathered representatives from across the Asia-Pacific region, sharing strategic insights on the 2050 vision, product development goals, and global expansion strategies.

“Participating in the Belimo Asia Pacific Conference and the 50th anniversary celebration is not only an honor for PGTECH but also reflects the strong strategic partnership between PGTECH and Belimo in bringing energy-efficient and sustainable technologies closer to customers in Vietnam,” said the CEO of PGTECH.

Vietnam – Part of the “Together to the Top” Mission

Aligned with the spirit of “Together to the Top,” PGTECH commits to continuing its partnership with Belimo to:

• Expand the deployment of advanced HVAC solutions in Vietnam
• Reduce CO₂ emissions, lower operating costs, and improve building efficiency
• Contribute to Belimo’s global sustainability goals toward 2050

Conclusion: One Journey – Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future

From its first actuators to a comprehensive smart HVAC ecosystem, Belimo has been at the forefront of shaping a sustainable future for the global building industry.

Its 50-year journey stands as a testament to its commitment to innovation, energy efficiency, and people.

As a strategic partner in Vietnam, PGTECH is proud to be part of this journey and will continue working alongside Belimo to deliver optimized value solutions — “Solutions to Better Values” — for customers and communities.
