The Pune facility is the first new FläktGroup manufacturing facility to become operational since Samsung Electronics completed its acquisition of the global HVAC specialist in November 2025, marking an important milestone in the integration of the two companies and their strategy to expand Samsung’s global HVAC business. Strategically located near Mumbai and major logistics infrastructure, the plant will help supply HVAC solutions more quickly to customers not only in India but also across the Asia-Pacific region. 

Samsung Electronics held a ceremony at the new facility on August 12, attended by Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance (DA) Business, David Dorney, CEO, FläktGroup, executives from both companies, and representatives from major customers. The event was attended by over 100 people.

“The completion of the production line in Pune, India, marks a significant milestone in expanding our HVAC supply beyond India to the broader Asia-Pacific region. By combining Samsung’s AI and platform technologies with FläktGroup’s HVAC expertise, we will deliver exceptional value to a diverse range of customers, including AI data centers,” said Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance (DA) Business.

The new production facility, including the production line, office, and auxiliary facilities, covers an area of approximately 13,826 square meters. The facility moved from equipment installation to mass production in just six months. FläktGroup plans to progressively expand production to up to 6,500 HVAC units annually.

The Pune plant will manufacture a broad portfolio of FläktGroup solutions, including its flagship Air Handling Units (AHUs), Fan Wall Units (FWUs) and Computer Air Handlers (CRAHs) for AI data centres and other critical infrastructure.

AHUs use chilled water to cool indoor environments while helping maintain air quality and are widely deployed in data centres and large commercial buildings. FWUs use multiple high-capacity fans to efficiently remove heat from server environments, while CRAHs provide precision temperature, humidity and air-quality management for mission-critical IT equipment.

The new facility builds on FläktGroup’s plants in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Together, its Greater Noida and Pune operations will strengthen local manufacturing, improve customer responsiveness and support Samsung’s ambition to build a stronger HVAC business in India, for India and the wider Asia-Pacific region. By combining FläktGroup’s specialised HVAC and critical-cooling expertise with Samsung’s AI and technology capabilities, global reach and scale, the companies aim to accelerate the development and delivery of next-generation cooling solutions for AI data centres and other high-growth infrastructure sectors.

“Hearing health is a vital component of our overall well-being, profoundly impacting how we communicate, connect with loved ones and engage with the world,” said Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team for the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the latest clearance from the FDA, we are expanding access to hearing support and making proactive care effortless by integrating the Hearing Test and Hearing Aid functionality directly into the Galaxy Buds.”

Hearing loss is incredibly common, yet it remains one of the most overlooked health conditions worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally, more than 1.5 billion people experience some degree of hearing loss — a figure projected to reach 2.5 billion people by 2050. Despite this, many people who could benefit from hearing aids do not use them due to high cost, social stigma or limited access to professional care.

Samsung has been committed to advancing hearing support technologies for consumers since 2020. That year, the company introduced a Personal Sound Amplification Product (PSAP) feature on Galaxy Buds+.

The PSAP feature was clinically validated in 2021 as effective support for daily communication for those with hearing loss, building the foundation for the Hearing Aid feature. To develop this new OTC solution, Samsung collaborated closely with the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) and Samsung Medical Center (SMC). The resulting technology is backed by robust clinical validation studies conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, San Jose State University and the University of Memphis.

Samsung’s holistic hearing health experience centers around two major features integrated directly into Galaxy Buds without requiring a separate app³. By navigating to the Galaxy Buds menu in Settings, users can complete a self-administered Hearing Test in just five minutes. Using clinical-grade, pure-tone audiometry, the software tests each ear individually to pinpoint the user’s specific hearing deficits. It then generates an audiogram with accuracy comparable to a professional audiologist’s evaluation. The results categorize the user’s hearing as normal or one of four stages of hearing loss: mild, moderate, severe or profound.

Based on those results, the Hearing Aid feature amplifies the sounds users have difficulty hearing — such as high frequencies, surrounding whispers and distant voices — personalized to each user’s hearing profile. Hearing Aid also supports additional advanced features typically found in premium hearing aids, such as noise elimination and beamforming, which help focus sounds in front of the user and suppress background noise.

Galaxy Buds use NAL-NL2, recognized globally as the clinical standard formula for fitting prescription hearing aid. This advanced approach ensures highly personalized, accurate results tailored to each individual’s hearing profile.

To give users a comprehensive view of their overall wellness, hearing-related insights — including noise exposure levels and Hearing Test results — are accessible directly within the Samsung Health app.

Availability

The Hearing Aid and Hearing Test features will be available on Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Buds4 Pro in the U.S. and select approved markets in Q4 2026.

1. Available on Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Buds4 Pro only. ︎
2. Availability may vary by market, model or paired device. The Hearing Aid feature is intended for users 18 years and older with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment by a qualified clinician ︎
3. Full support requires a compatible Galaxy device with One UI 8 or later. ︎

The cohort includes young innovators from Medchal-Malkajgiri (Telangana), Kaithal (Haryana), Sundargarh (Odisha), Narmadapuram (formerly Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh), Buxar (Bihar), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) and Kamrup (Assam), alongside participants from India’s metropolitan regions. This growing diversity reflects Samsung’s belief that transformative ideas can emerge from anywhere when young people are given access to mentorship, technology and opportunity.
