In a significant move that underscores the Houston Astros’ deepening ties with the community, star second baseman José Altuve has been appointed as a brand ambassador for Daikin Comfort Technologies North America. This announcement comes as part of a broader partnership between the Astros and Daikin, which includes the renaming of the team’s home stadium to “Daikin Park” starting January 1, 2025.

A Partnership Rooted in Community

Altuve’s new role involves supporting Daikin’s community-driven initiatives, promoting the company’s innovative products, and helping to connect Houstonians to Daikin’s advanced solutions, values, and local impact. From youth programs and education efforts to fan engagement and neighborhood events, he will serve as a bridge to bring greater awareness to Daikin’s commitment to comfort, sustainability, and community across Greater Houston.

Daikin’s Commitment to Houston

Daikin, a leading global indoor comfort solutions provider, has a strong presence in the Houston area, employing approximately 10,000 people in the region. The company operates a 4.2 million square foot campus in Waller, Texas, and has invested over $1 billion in the Houston area. Their commitment to the community is further demonstrated through initiatives such as equipping low-to-moderate income homes with advanced air conditioning and heating solutions.

Looking Ahead

As the Astros prepare to play their first game at Daikin Park on March 24, 2025, against the Triple-A Sugar Land Space Cowboys, Altuve’s partnership with Daikin is expected to enhance the fan experience and strengthen the bond between the team and the Houston community.
