Backed by 46 cutting-edge technologies developed entirely in-house, GREE’s commercial air conditioning systems span 10 major series and thousands of models, comprehensively serving a wide range of environments, from super high-rise buildings and large transport hubs to data centres, hospitals, factories, and industrial sites.
GREE has also maintained the No. 1 position in China’s central air conditioning market for 13 consecutive years. In 2024, it captured over 15% of the market, leading the sales rankings among mainstream brands. Notably, its modular units, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, and unitary air conditioners achieved market shares of 12.7%, 20%, and 35.6%, respectively. These strong results further reinforce GREE’s position as a global air conditioning leader, driven by continuous innovation and comprehensive, scenario-based solutions.
Singapore as a Strategic Gateway for GREE’s Expansion
- Driving the Global Expansion of GREE’s with Singapore as a Strategic Hub
In recent years, GREE has focused on expanding its presence in overseas markets, particularly in ASEAN countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. As of today, self-branded products account for 70% of the company’s total export volume. As the heart of Southeast Asia, a key financial and trade hub, Singapore serves as a strategic base for GREE’s regional expansion. Moving forward, GREE Singapore will spearhead strategic planning, investment, and market research, while driving business development to bring the company’s innovative cooling solutions across the region.
- Anchoring Singapore’s High-Standards Market as a Launchpad for Global Innovation
Singapore upholds the world’s highest standards for energy-efficient air conditioning technologies, such as the Green Mark Platinum certification. It is also a hub for top global design consultants like Arcadis and Arup, providing an ideal platform for the incubation and validation of advanced technical solutions.
With its groundbreaking technology, GREE’s “Zero Carbon Source” photovoltaic storage direct current soft load system has achieved an industry-leading photovoltaic direct-drive utilisation rate of 99.04%. Meanwhile, its permanent magnet synchronous variable frequency water chiller is the first Chinese brand to be installed at GlobalFoundries’ semiconductor facility, a testament to the strong alignment between GREE’s innovations and local standards. By using Singapore as a springboard, GREE is well positioned to promote its self-developed, world-class technologies globally.
- Strengthening Local Service Capabilities Through Direct Operations
The GREE Singapore team will establish a comprehensive three-pronged service framework. This includes a streamlined after-sales system to ensure prompt and efficient customer support, as well as the development of a regional technical training programme in collaboration with local higher education institutions. Additionally, GREE will work closely with local distributors to deliver an integrated purchasing experience that combines hands-on product demonstrations with robust technical support.
Recognising the humid and coastal climate of Southeast Asia, GREE will also introduce customised solutions such as its Black Fin technology, which significantly enhances corrosion resistance and extends product lifespan.

GREE’s First Wave of Products Debuts in Singapore
With the official inauguration of the GREE Singapore Branch, the company has introduced its first wave of products to the local market. The launch includes the CHARMO split wall mounted series, FREE MATCH systems, and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solutions, all equipped with customised and practical technologies tailored to meet the specific needs of Singaporean consumers.
- Enhanced Durability with Black Fin Condenser Technology
GREE products are equipped with advanced Black Fin technology, offering 67% greater corrosion resistance compared to traditional blue fin heat exchangers. This makes them particularly well-suited for island climates like Singapore, delivering longer service life and enhanced performance in humid conditions.
- Advanced Filtration for Healthier Living
GREE’s air conditioners are equipped with a multi-layer filtration system featuring tri-color filters, PM2.5 filters, and advanced plasma (Colasma) technology. Together, these features effectively eliminate dust, bacteria, and allergens to ensure cleaner, healthier indoor air. This integrated purification system reflects GREE’s commitment to enhancing home environments and promoting long-term wellbeing through innovative design.
- Intelligent Self-Cleaning and Easy Maintenance Design
GREE air conditioners are thoughtfully designed with self-cleaning functions and easy-to-clean features, reducing maintenance efforts while consistently maintaining high air quality. Equipped with intelligent i-Feel sensing technology, the units automatically adjust temperature settings based on real-time room conditions to ensure optimal comfort.

Etiqa’s Project Firefly Reinforces Mangrove Ecosystem in Sungai Panjang in Collaboration with Malaysian Nature Society
Through Etiqa’s Project Firefly, Etiqa is taking proactive steps to preserve and sustain the ecosystem by planting 130 Sonneratia Caseolaris or locally known as Berembang saplings and 200 Sonneratia Caseolaris seeds, undertaking habitat restoration works, and mobilising 50 Etiqa volunteers for a community-driven initiative along Sungai Panjang, covering a total stretch of 10 kilometres. In addition, an awareness session was conducted by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Faculty of Science which aimed to educate participants on the ecological importance of fireflies and the need for long-term conservation.
Fireflies play an important role as indicators of mangrove ecosystem health, which in turn supports environmental balance and benefits surrounding communities. However, across Malaysia, firefly populations are declining due to rapid habitat loss caused by river pollution, deforestation, and increasing light pollution along mangrove-lined rivers. These threats not only endanger native species but also affect the livelihoods of local fishermen and villagers who rely on healthy river ecosystems and firefly-based eco-tourism. Protecting congregating firefly zones through the preservation of adequate vegetation buffers along riverbanks is therefore critical to ensuring the long-term survival of these species and the sustainability of local livelihoods.
Fukhairudin Mohd Yusof, CEO of Etiqa General Insurance Berhad (EGIB) said, “We initiated Etiqa’s Project Firefly as conserving native firefly species is deeply connected to the well-being of the communities that co-exist around them. By conserving firefly habitats, we are not only protecting an irreplaceable part of Malaysia’s biodiversity but also helping sustain the eco-tourism and river-based livelihoods of Sungai Panjang residents. This reflects Etiqa’s purpose in Making the World a Better Place that includes meaningful environmental action which strengthens both nature and society, creating long-term value for future generations.”
Mr. I.S Shanmugaraj, Executive Director of Malaysia Nature Society says, “Fireflies are natural indicators of a healthy mangrove ecosystem, and their presence reflects the overall condition of our rivers and surrounding environments. We commend Etiqa for taking proactive steps through Etiqa’s Project Firefly to address the growing threats of habitat degradation along fireflies corridor. Meaningful conservation requires collective action, and we hope this initiative will inspire more companies to collaborate with environmental organisations and local communities to protect biodiversity while supporting sustainable livelihoods for the long term.”Hashtag: #Etiqamy
