Hispacold
working out special
strategy for Indian market
Set up in 1977, Hispacold, a well-
known Spanish manufacturer of
air-conditioning systems for buses
and coaches from the Irizar Group,
has constantly tried to reinvent air-
conditioning technology and has
contributed much for the segment’s
technological achievements.
It all began a few decades ago
when Hispacold used to install air-
conditioning parts in buses and
coaches. The customers would bring
non-AC buses which were fitted
with an air-conditioning system with
assemblies sourced from suppliers.
On realizing the huge potential of
the business, the company started
developing its own compressors in
the 1980s which were gradually up-
graded to newer and more advanced
ones.
Initially, Hispacold catered only to
the local demand in Spain and later
covered Portugal, France and other
parts of Europe. Currently, with a 60
per cent market share in Spain, it has
reached out to 130 countries across
component zone
