Daikin ARC480A11 Remote Control

Daikin is a global leader in air conditioning and refrigeration, with its origins dating back to Japan in the early 20th century. The remote control pictured, model ARC480A11, is a standard interface for their split-system air conditioning units.

Manufacturing of Daikin components is highly decentralized to support local markets. While electronic controllers like this remote are largely produced in specialized facilities in Thailand and China, Daikin maintains a massive global manufacturing footprint across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. The brand is currently owned by Daikin Industries, Ltd., which remains headquartered in Osaka, Japan, maintaining its status as a leading independent Japanese multinational.
