Turning Up the Heat, T&B Acquires the AmbiRad Group

U.K. Leader in Specialty HVAC Products

T&B continues to secure its leading position in niche HVAC markets with its recent acquisition of the AmbiRad Group, a privately held U.K. manufacturer of specialized commercial and industrial heating and ventilation products based in Birmingham, England. AmbiRad has sold T&B Reznor products in the U.K. for more than 20 years.

"Our long-standing relationship with AmbiRad and its complementary product portfolio makes AmbiRad an excellent addition to our global HVAC business," said Viswas Purani, president, HVAC division.

As a leading manufacturer of gas fired low intensity infrared heating systems, AmbiRad systems are utilized in applications such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, vehicle service centers, dock areas and airplane hangars.

Founded in 1979, the AmbiRad Group is the U.K.'s market leader in commercial and industrial space heating with radiant and warm-air products. Their leading brand names – AmbiRad and Airbloc – are sold throughout Europe and exported to other global markets.
