Humidity control and evaporative cooling specialist, Condair, has acquired US-based evaporative media manufacturer, Kuul.
Kuul is a leading manufacturer of glass fibre and cellulose media used in evaporative cooling systems and adiabatic pre-cooling for chillers and turbines. Rebranding as Condair – Evaporative Technologies, the organisation will be extending its distribution of evaporative media solutions through Condair’s global network of sales and service offices in 23 countries, and its wider distribution partners around the world.
Oliver Zimmermann, CEO of Condair, said of the acquisition: “Condair’s mission is driven by our customers’ needs and with the combination of Kuul and Condair, we can meet our customers’ needs even better. Kuul has the media expertise, which perfectly complements the evaporative technology expertise of Condair. Together we can provide reliable and sustainable solutions. With Condair’s global reach, it’s a win-win for both organisations and our customers will benefit from advanced media and system competency from a single partner.”
Alongside the acquisition of Kuul, Condair is also investing in a new production facility in Richmond, Virginia, USA, to strengthen its production capabilities and improve its supply chain efficiency for the key regional US data centre market. The new 400,000ft² facility is planned to open in 2025, and is estimated to employ 180 individuals.
Condair already operates production facilities in Europe, North America and China, and manufactures a comprehensive range of humidification systems.
