Heat pump and HVAC systems engineered in Italy, distributed through US operations
Ephoca manufactures heat pump and climate-control systems (AIO, STONE, Nextac) as the US subsidiary of Innova SRL, a 16-year-old European player. The tech stack reveals a company mid-way through digital maturation: strong in 3D visualization and marketing automation (Blender, Unreal, Maya, Midjourney, Zoho CRM), but active hiring across engineering and sales suggests scaling beyond pure manufacturing into distribution and customer-facing operations. A strategic alliance with Panasonic (February 2024) signals distribution or co-development expansion.
