Secop GmbH (formerly known as ''Danfoss Compressors GmbH'') is a manufacturer of hermetic compressors for cooling circuits. Secop designs, develops, manufactures and distributes compressors for three application ranges: household refrigerators and freezers, small commercial refrigeration systems and cooling solutions for the mobile area (12/24/48 volt DC compressors). According to the manufacturer, the compressors are characterized by low energy consumption, low noise emission and environmental friendliness due to the use of CFC-free refrigerants.〔(Website of Aurelius AG. Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕 The headquarters of Secop are located in Flensburg/Germany, where approximately 110 employees (as of November 2014) work in research and development, the sales division and the product support department. Secop also operates production facilities in Slovakia and in the People's Republic of China, a plant for parts manufacturing in Slovenia and worldwide sales and customer service companies. == History == Under the name of Danfoss Compressors GmbH (temporarily Danfoss Household Compressors GmbH), the current company Secop was part of the Danfoss Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Division of Danfoss A/S until 2010. The group headquarters are located in Nordborg/Denmark.〔(Website of Secop GmbH. Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕〔(Website of Danfoss Group. Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕 On 29 November 2010, the Danfoss Group concluded the formal and legally binding separation from this segment of its compressor program. Danfoss Compressors GmbH was taken over by the Munich industrial holding company Aurelius AG. As a close partner of the Danfoss Group, Secop still continues to market its compressor-solutions via the Danfoss Sales Network.〔(Press release of Aurelius Group from 5 November 2010. Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕〔(Press release of the Danfoss Group 5 November 2010. Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕 The companies did not disclose the value of the transaction. According to estimates made by the media, the deal was relatively small for Danfoss: Danfoss is one of Denmark's largest industrial companies with an annual turnover of more than 3.4 billion euros (at the time of the transaction) and 26,000 employees worldwide. For Aurelius (turnover 2009: 760 million euros) the takeover was regarded as a major growth step.〔(Article of Reuters UK from 12 July 2010. Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕 Dirk Markus, CEO of Aurelius, stated: "We are delighted that the Danfoss Group (...) decided to sell another subsidiary to Aurelius."〔(Press release of Danfoss Group 2010 (German). Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕 The acquisition by Aurelius contained the complete operations in Germany, China, Slovenia and Slovakia with a total of approximately 3,000 employees.〔(Article in Finance Magazin of 13 July 2010 (German). Accessed on 9 November 2014. )〕 As part of the acquisition Danfoss Compressors was renamed and from then on conducted its business with a new brand under the name Secop. So the Secop GmbH is a newly formed company that can look back on a history of more than 60 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
