shecco is a global market accelerator helping its partners in the heating, air conditioning and refrigeration sectors bring their innovative solutions faster to the market. We specialise in integrated services and products to advance the use of the five natural refrigerants carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3), hydrocarbons (HC), water and air. Our portfolio comprises activities in three areas: media, events and market development.
shecco was set up in 2000 as a business unit within the leading Norwegian conglomerate for energy and aluminium, Norsk Hydro, to develop sustainable heating and cooling solutions based on CO2 refrigerant (R744). Together with Japanese partners, shecco was instrumental in facilitating the birth of the CO2-based hot water heat pumps “EcoCute” market in Japan, while also working with global FMCG brand such as The Coca-Cola Company.
In 2007, shecco spun off from Norsk Hydro to become an independent market development company. Over the years, we have expanded our activities to other natural refrigerants – ammonia, hydrocarbons, water and air – and to cover a broad range of sectors, including the industrial, commercial, light-commercial and residential refrigeration, air conditioning and heating sectors.
