Italy-based Climaveneta is the leading chiller brand in Europe. Chillers are used for buildings, factories, and other large facilities across various sectors.

president Ramoncito Ocampo said the addition of Climaveneta to its product line will allow the company to compete in the chiller market.

Ocampo added that the company can also participate in big business projects in the Philippines that require this air conditioning system.

“We are optimistic of the continued growth of the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) market in the Philippines, bolstered by the uptrend in economic and business activities of companies, locators, and manufacturers in the country,” the IEE chief noted.

March 2018, IEE forecasts at least a 5-percent growth backed by a robust construction sector.

Aside from the air conditioning system, IEE is the country’s leading provider of escalators and eleva - ings, business process outsourcing public infrastructure projects, such as airports.
