Our corporate development milestones
With the aid of high-performance development tools and new manufacturing solutions, the 2nd generation of RadiCal centrifugal fans was designed for a higher air flow rate. Characteristic is the new innovative blade geometry, which has a significantly positive influence on efficiency and noise reduction. This benefits are essential in its applications in central residential ventilation and air conditioning, as well as heat pumps, air purifiers and switch cabinet cooling.
The 3rd generation of RadiPac centrifugal fans for air handling units are launched.
In order to improve efficiency and noise level once more, the impeller geometry based on a high-strength, glass-fiber reinforced composite material was completely revised according to the latest aerodynamic findings.
Focus on digitalization and generation of added value data.
The systematic further development of GreenTech.
