Danfoss A/S

Danfoss A/S (“Danfoss”), a multinational Danish company that manufactures and sells refrigeration products, air conditioners, compressors, and other cooling products, has agreed to pay $4,379,810 to settle its potential civil liability for 225 apparent violations of multiple OFAC sanctions programs. The apparent violations occurred when Danfoss FZCO, Danfoss’s wholly owned UAE subsidiary, directed customers in Iran, Syria, and Sudan to make payments to its bank account at the UAE branch of a U.S. financial institution (“U.S. Branch Account”) and when Danfoss FZCO made payments from that same account to entities in Iran and Syria. As a result of this conduct, Danfoss FZCO caused the U.S. financial institution to facilitate prohibited financial transactions and export financial services to sanctioned jurisdictions.
