Energy Save

JCE South America is primarily active in the business areas of Hardware & Distribution, Forest Products, and Real Estate Development. The company has been active in South America since 1987, starting in Chile and later expanding to Brazil, Colombia and Peru. With this agreement, JCE is also establishing itself in the heat pump market in South America.

"With our strong local presence and extensive experience in the region, we are uniquely positioned to help Nordic companies grow in these dynamic markets. The current project is clear proof of this," says Ulf Gillberg, Head of JCE South America AB.

The collaboration is another step in Energy Save's ambition to offer the company's products to property and home owners through distributors. The agreement means that JCE will be the exclusive distributor of heat pumps under the Energy Save brand in Chile.

"JCE is a strong and dynamic partner in several business areas, with a clear focus on implementing green technology from Sweden and Europe in Chile and the rest of South America. Heating in Chilean properties is currently largely provided by expensive imported gas, and an alternative using heat pumps therefore offers significant potential for savings," says Calle Gabinus, Key Account Manager for Energy Save in the South American market.

"It is a good time to enter the heat pump market in Chile, as it is now moving towards sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. Our goal is to become a leading player in this growing market as well, and we will therefore incorporate other complementary products from European premium brands into our local product range," says Sebastian Olivos, CEO of JCE Chile.
