Lindab

What Lindab does

Lindab is a European market leader in ventilation, fire protection, building envelope (profile/roofing) and heating products, tracing its origin to a 1959 sheet metal workshop in Grevie, Sweden. The group operates across 20+ countries — primarily in Europe with a US presence — with over 5,000 employees globally and is publicly listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange as Lindab AB. The Irish operations (Lindab (Irl) Limited, headquartered in Dublin) function as a regional hub with manufacturing (A.C. Manufacturing), fire/smoke ventilation (Thor Duct), and distribution (Irish Ventilation & Filtration), and now host a dedicated Data Centre Division.

The product portfolio spans four business areas: Ventilation (circular and rectangular duct systems, including the Eurovent class D-certified Lindab Safe; air distribution; demand-controlled systems Pascal, Ultra BT, and UltraLink; residential heat recovery; chilled beams); Fire Protection (fire/smoke dampers, Thor Duct, pressurisation and extract systems, smoke extract fans, automatic opening vents); Profile Systems (Rainline rainwater systems, standing seam roofing, wall and facade, profiled sheeting, SolarRoof); and Heating (electric radiators and heat pumps). Digital tools include BIM Objects, OneLink commissioning app, OneSet, Vent Tools, and design/calculation software; the Lindab Innovation Hub drives open collaboration on indoor climate. Steel sourcing is a strategic differentiator: the SSAB partnership will deliver fossil-free steel from 2026 via the HYBRIT process, and current products already use Recycled Steel 75 with 60-70% lower CO2 emissions.

Lindab sells via a specification-driven enterprise field-sales motion targeting consulting engineers, architects, M&E contractors, and developers, complemented by exclusive distribution agreements (e.g., SIG Ireland for Rainline, ALM HM for Standing Seam, Duggan Profiles for Roofing/Cladding) and digital self-service tools. Revenue is hardware-led (ventilation components, ductwork, fire protection, roofing, heating) with a smaller service/maintenance stream. The company has pursued a programmatic acquisition strategy (notably Irish Ventilation & Filtration in 2023 and four European deals in 2022) alongside organic growth, achieving record sales and earnings in Q2 2022.

Core offering

Lindab manufactures and supplies ventilation systems (duct systems, air distribution, demand-controlled ventilation), fire protection products (dampers, smoke control, fire-rated ductwork), profile systems (rainwater drainage, roofing, wall and facade), and heating products (electric radiators, heat pumps) for residential, commercial, industrial, and data centre buildings. The company sells through direct enterprise field sales, exclusive distribution partners, and wholly-owned subsidiaries, supported by a digital toolset for design, specification, commissioning, and ongoing service and maintenance.

Product overview

Lindab is a European market leader in ventilation, fire protection, profile systems (roofing, walls, rainwater), and heating solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products and smart digital tools for healthier indoor climates. The core offering spans four business areas: (1) Ventilation — including circular and rectangular duct systems (Lindab Safe, Eurovent-certified at class D), air distribution, air diffusion, demand-controlled ventilation (Pascal System Management, Ultra BT, UltraLink), residential ventilation with heat recovery, chilled beams, and smart IoT-enabled measurement and control products; (2) Fire Protection — fire/smoke dampers, smoke control dampers, fire-rated duct systems, Thor Duct, pressurisation and extract systems, car park ventilation, and smoke extract fans; (3) Profile — Rainline Rainwater System (market leader in Nordic and Eastern Europe), Standing Seam Roofing, Wall & Facade systems, profiled sheeting, SolarRoof with integrated solar panels, and GreenCoat color coated steel; and (4) Heating — electric radiators and heat pumps. Acquired brands including A.C. Manufacturing (Ireland, since 2017), Thor Duct (since 2020), and Irish Ventilation & Filtration (since 2023) expand the product portfolio. A new Data Centre Division, headquartered in Dublin, targets the European data centre sector. Digital tools include BIM objects, Vent Tools, OneLink commissioning app, OneSet, ventilation design and indoor climate simulation software, and building products software. Lindab Innovation Hub drives open innovation for indoor air quality. The company uses decarbonised steel (Recycled Steel 75 with 75% recycled content, and fossil-free steel via SSAB's HYBRIT process) across its product range to reduce environmental impact.
