HBC Humidity Control Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Formerly under the European HB Group, later formed a joint venture with Danish COTES，specialises in designing and manufacturing dehumidification drying systems alongside complementary refrigeration equipment. Established in Shanghai in 2005, HBC China facility has now operated for 20 years. Through its exceptional expertise, equipment, and services in air humidity control,HBC has emerged as a leader within China's dehumidification sector.

HBC' history dates back to 1974, with a consistent focus on designing and manufacturing drying and dehumidification systems. The company has dedicated itself to the research, development, design, and production of desiccant rotor dehumidification systems and controls, gradually establishing itself as an industry pioneer. The HBC Group operates three manufacturing facilities globally—in Germany, Poland, and China—and maintains over fifty representative offices worldwide, delivering premium products and services to customers across the globe. To date, HBC' international management has fostered mature and sophisticated product craftsmanship, extensive design expertise, and a rigorous work ethic. These attributes have enabled HBC to achieve a significant market share across Europe and the wider world. 

HBC' greatest strength lies in its commitment to delivering bespoke solutions tailored to diverse client requirements. Adopting European management practices and CE standards, core components such as rotors, seals, and drives are imported directly from Denmark, while other parts feature internationally renowned brands. The perfect blend of aesthetic and internal design ensures high efficiency and energy savings. With exceptionally low noise levels, the equipment is suitable for low-noise environments such as cinemas and theatres.

HBC modular dehumidification systems offer extensive humidity control capabilities. The dryer unit can achieve an outlet air dew point of -75°C, while simultaneously maintaining room-wide humidity control down to -60°C dew point or beyond. The automated control system employs a distributed control architecture centred on PLC control integrated with a touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI). Comprehensive alarm functions are incorporated; units feature mobile remote monitoring capabilities. The manufacturer's specialised after-sales team continuously monitors operational status in real-time. Should abnormal parameters be detected, they promptly contact the user or dispatch personnel for on-site inspection, preventing potential issues before they arise.

HBC Humidity Control Equipment (Jiaxing) Co., Ltd. and its European strategic partner COTES will deepen cooperation in 2025 to optimise brand positioning. The dual-brand synergy of HBC and COTES will drive global expansion in the desiccant rotordehumidification market, with HBC representing manufacturing from Chinese facilities and COTES representing production from European and Polish plants.

The brand alignment achieved with our European partner signifies our joint venture has entered a more mature and efficient phase. Clearly defining the distinct positioning of HBC and Cotes enables us to precisely address the differentiated needs of diverse regions and customer segments, maximising both parties' core strengths. This dual-brand strategy will generate powerful synergies, collectively advancing our leadership position in the global desiccant rotordehumidification sector.
