ANEO Retail and Danfoss are expanding their successful partnership in Sweden and Denmark to seize opportunities in the Nordic food retail sector. The collaboration aims at not only energy optimization, but also transforming the procurement and operation of technical infrastructure.
ANEO Retail offers an Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) model, allowing retailers to subscribe to managed technical systems. This model reduces capital investment while enhancing operational stability, energy efficiency, and professionalized service. Additionally, it complements the existing Danfoss Food Retail products, including Danfoss BOCK® Compressors and Control Systems.
ANEO Retail's Strategic Expansion
To tap into the market potential, ANEO Retail is consolidating its Nordic operations in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark under ANEO Retail International. They are enhancing their collaboration with Danfoss, which serves as a strategic partner and investor, bringing financial strength and technical expertise.
According to Kjetil Larsen, CEO of ANEO Retail, said "This continued partnership is a game-changer for ANEO Retail—and for energy optimization in food retail. Danfoss is the ideal partner, not only because of their technical expertise, but because they share our vision for smarter, more sustainable store operations. Together, we're positioned to accelerate the shift toward energy-efficient solutions across thousands of grocery stores."
Danfoss's Investment and Operational Scaling
Danfoss plans to invest in ANEO Retail International, girding their alliance and funding joint growth
Over the coming years, Danfoss plans to invest in ANEO Retail International, reinforcing their partnership and supporting joint expansion across the Nordics.
This investment will fuel the expansion, enhance operational capacity, and advance ANEO Retail's EaaS offerings. The partnership combines Danfoss’ technology with ANEO Retail’s operational expertise to meet increasing retailer demand for smarter and flexible infrastructure solutions.
Currently, ANEO Retail oversees and manages energy consumption for over 1,700 grocery stores in the Nordic region, providing a broad range of services.
Advancing the Green Transition
Kristian Strand, President of Danfoss Climate Solutions, stated, "Expanding our collaboration with ANEO Retail into Norway is a natural next step. By combining our technology leadership with ANEO Retail’s operational expertise, we can help food retailers across the Nordics cut energy use, lower costs, and reduce emissions — all while ensuring reliable, future-proof technical infrastructure."
Kristian further emphasized, "This partnership is a perfect example of how we can accelerate the green transition in everyday operations."
