Systemair merger strengthens UK operations

The ventilation company Systemair is streamlining its operations in the United Kingdom by merging Systemair Ltd with its fellow subsidiary Fans & Spares Ltd. The companies' turnovers last year amounted to approximately MSEK 200.

Fans & Spares was acquired in 2000 and currently has 12 sales offices and warehouses. This merger will make Systemair's organisation more efficient and ensures better market coverage.

"This is a strategic decision, giving us greater control and stronger potential growth, while also simplifying the situation for customers. In addition to a more efficient organisation, it also gives us scope for increasing the proportion of Systemair products on the UK market," says Gerald Engström, CEO of Systemair.

As part of the organisational restructure, the company will be changing its name to Systemair Fans & Spares Ltd.
