According to a statement from Daikin Industries on December 12, 2025, the conglomerate has signed an agreement to acquire Anh Nguyên Company, a building systems integrator headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City.
The transaction is being executed through Daikin Air Conditioning Vietnam Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Viet Kim Co., Ltd.), with legal procedures expected to be finalized in the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year. The financial details of the deal remain undisclosed.
Anh Nguyên, established in 2006 and led by Mr. Nguyễn Thanh Thái, specializes in designing and implementing Building Management Systems (BMS), Extra Low Voltage (ELV) systems, and security solutions. The company has successfully completed hundreds of projects in Vietnam and internationally, partnering with over 100 major clients, including real estate giants like Vingroup, Sun Group, Novaland, Capitaland, and Keppel Land.
Beyond its core BMS expertise, Anh Nguyên offers advanced technical solutions in niche areas such as smart hotel room control systems (Smart Guestroom Control – Inncom) and fire alarm systems, focusing on high-end factories, hotels, and resorts.
This acquisition comes amid Vietnam’s rising energy consumption. With the country’s Net Zero commitment by 2050 and the Vietnam Energy Efficiency Program (VNEEP3), the market is shifting from equipment procurement to integrated management solutions. Daikin’s data highlights that HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems account for approximately 50% of a building’s total energy consumption.
Post-acquisition, Daikin Vietnam will integrate Anh Nguyên’s BMS with its HVAC systems, transitioning to a “One-Stop Solution” model. By combining Inverter/VRV technology with BMS, the company aims to reduce building energy consumption by 15-25%.
Operationally, the merger centralizes responsibility for design, installation, and after-sales service, minimizing technical issues between electrical contractors and control system providers. Daikin also plans to introduce predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and expanded control over systems like lighting, pumps, and fans.
