Flamgard Calidair specialises in the design and manufacture of high-quality specialist HVAC dampers and the associated equipment for demanding industrial and energy production environments, such as nuclear power plants and underground construction (tunnels). Founded in 1981, the company is a former competitor of Halton’s and has delivered solutions for several demanding projects around the world.
“Close co-operation and fantastic synergies developed over the 2 years since the majority purchase convinced Halton that moving forward to 100% acquisition provided even further potential for Halton to grow in strategic market segments in which we see great forward potential,” says Director of Halton Marine Sami Piirainen.
The management of Flamgard Calidair agree and trust that the arrangement and close cooperation between the companies significantly enhance the business of both organizations since 2020 and this is the natural progression to bigger and better things to come.
The companies’ joint markets have so far been spared the worst impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s War on Ukraine and the challenging economic conditions.
“The joint strategy decisions and quickly adapting to market conditions have put us in a strong position to gain a substantial order pipeline in the heavy industry segment and will be the foundation of growth in the green transition, nuclear power and underground infrastructure space where there has been great opportunities to provide Halton’s sustainable market leading solutions. We have always recognised Flamgard Calidair’s expertise in this area and the 100% acquisition will take us to the next level” says Halton’s Director for Heavy Industry Shuresh Maran.
