What Leminar does

Leminar (legal name Leminar Air Conditioning Co LLC, also trading as Leminar Global) is a Dubai-headquartered HVAC and plumbing distribution company founded in 1991 and operating as a wholly-owned member of the Al Shirawi Group of Companies. The company sells and distributes air conditioning equipment, water heating and hydronic solutions, ventilation systems, valves and pumps (branded FlowTherm Solutions), and building service accessories, representing 25+ global manufacturer brands including Rheem, Soler & Palau (S&P), Wilo, Ebara, Frese, Hattersley, Mueller Industries, Armacell, KIMMCO, Calpak, and Tecnair LV. It serves commercial buildings, residential buildings, data centers, and MEP contractors and consulting engineers across the construction and real estate sectors, with a regional footprint spanning the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

Beyond distribution, Leminar has manufacturing capability through its 2022-acquired subsidiary Clima Uno Air Conditioning Industries, which produces Eurovent-certified air handling units, fan coil units, fresh air handling units, ecology units, and energy recovery ventilators at a Dubai Investment Park facility featuring a 420.75 kWp solar plant. The company also operates flexible duct manufacturing and provides after-sales maintenance and repair through its Leminar ServicePro service arm. Infrastructure includes a 168,000 sq ft Central Logistics Centre at Ras Al Khor, roughly 215,000 sq ft of warehouse space, and approximately AED 70 million of held inventory to ensure product availability.

The business model is primarily hardware/equipment distribution revenue (one-time equipment and accessory sales) supplemented by manufacturing revenue from Clima Uno and professional services revenue from Leminar ServicePro. Go-to-market combines channel/retail distribution (10 showrooms across the UAE for SMB, individual, and contractor buyers) with enterprise field sales offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah targeting commercial and industrial projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and has won recurring industry awards including HVAC Accessories Supplier of the Year and MEP Supplier of the Year.
