Direct peers

• Systemair: Swedish-listed manufacturer of ventilation fans, air handling units, and air distribution products for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Directly comparable to Aldes' VEX/EasyVEC ranges, and is one of the closest direct European competitors in commercial AHUs and ducted ventilation.
• FläktGroup: European specialist in air handling units, fans, and indoor air quality solutions for commercial and industrial buildings. Competes head-on with Aldes in the commercial AHU and fire-protection ventilation segments across Europe and the Middle East.
• Swegon: European provider of indoor climate solutions including air handling units, radiant heating/cooling, and demand-controlled ventilation. Overlaps with Aldes' InspirAIR double-flow residential, VEX commercial AHUs, and IAQ-focused SMART CONTROL offering.
• Zehnder Group: Swiss-listed manufacturer of indoor climate solutions including heat-recovery residential ventilation and commercial ventilation systems. Closely comparable to Aldes' InspirAIR and EasyHOME residential ranges, and increasingly in commercial ventilation as well.
• Vents Group: Ukrainian-headquartered manufacturer of ventilation equipment ranging from domestic fans to commercial AHUs. Competes with Aldes in duct fans, roof fans (TAHA/TAVA equivalent), and single-flow residential ventilation across European and export markets.
• Helios Ventilatoren: German manufacturer of fans, ventilation systems, and air-handling technology for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Directly comparable to Aldes' duct fans, roof fans, and AHU product lines, primarily serving DACH and broader European markets.

Broad incumbents

• Daikin: Global HVAC incumbent offering air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration systems with a strong European footprint (Daikin Europe). Competes with Aldes in commercial ventilation and IAQ as part of a much broader portfolio, and could bundle ventilation into full HVAC offerings.
• Trane Technologies: US-listed global HVAC and building systems major producing air handlers, chillers, and ventilation equipment. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for commercial AHU and ventilation contracts where Aldes also bids.
• Carrier Global: Global HVAC manufacturer with air-handling, ventilation, and fire/smoke management products. Competes with Aldes in commercial AHUs and ventilation, particularly on international projects where Carrier's local presence and service network are decisive.

Regional players

• Atlantic (Groupe Atlantic): French-headquartered HVAC and water-heating group with strong presence in French residential and commercial ventilation. Closely comparable to Aldes as a France-based B2B ventilation specialist, especially in residential heat-recovery and centralized ventilation.
