What Airmaster does

Airmaster A/S, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Aars, Denmark, manufactures decentralized ventilation and air conditioning systems, primarily serving schools, educational institutions, offices, corporate buildings, and renovation/modular construction projects across Scandinavia and broader Europe. The company sells through a regional sales management structure covering Danish territories plus dedicated international coverage for the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland, supplemented by an online configurator tool, a dealer network for filters and accessories, and country-specific websites in Danish, German, English, French, Dutch, Norwegian, and Swedish. Following the March 2024 acquisition by Swedish ventilation and building solutions provider Lindab Group, Airmaster operates as a subsidiary within a larger strategic owner with broader European distribution reach.

The product portfolio spans wall-mounted units (AM 150, AM 300, AM 500, AM 1000), floor-standing units (CC 150 through CC 1000 plus the AM 900), and the flagship AMX 4, launched in September 2023 — an all-in-one decentralized unit combining ventilation with a reversible air-to-air heat pump and natural refrigerant R290, backed by European patent EP3988855 and developed over five years in collaboration with Teknologisk Institut and Aalborg University. Underlying technical capabilities include counterflow heat exchangers achieving over 80% heat recovery, patented low-noise compressor technology enabling indoor mounting, and demand-controlled ventilation via integrated CO2, TVOC, PIR, and humidity sensors. The Airlinq Online cloud platform provides centralized remote monitoring, control, and energy optimization, with API-based integration into Honeywell, Trend, CentraLine, and Priva building management systems.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based hardware sales for project-driven commercial ventilation installations (multi-year contract cycle), recurring subscription services via Airlinq Online, and professional service revenue from filter replacement and technical support (filters recommended for change at 6-14 month intervals). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; configuration is handled through an online configurator that produces customized quotes. Headcount is approximately 200 employees, supported by a 10,000 m² production facility and a 400 m² advanced test center developed with Teknologisk Institut. The company has installed over 100,000 units globally and reports annual revenue in the three-digit million DKK range.

Core offering

Airmaster designs, manufactures, and sells decentralized ventilation units for individual rooms or zones rather than a single central ducted system. The portfolio includes wall-mounted units (AM 150, AM 300, AM 500, AM 1000, AMX 4), floor-standing units (AM 900, CC series CC 150–CC 1000), the AMX 4 combined ventilation/heating/cooling unit, and the Airlinq Online cloud platform for remote monitoring and BMS integration. Products are sold directly to schools, municipalities, offices, modular buildings, and through dealers for replacement filters and accessories.

Product overview

Airmaster offers a unified decentralized ventilation platform combining wall-mounted and floor-standing hardware units with the Airlinq Online cloud software platform and a range of sensors and accessories. The core hardware portfolio includes the AMX 4 (an all-in-one wall-mounted unit with integrated ventilation, heating, and cooling via reversible heat pump), the wall-mounted AM series (AM 150, AM 300, AM 500, AM 1000), the floor-standing CC series (CC 150 to CC 1000), and the floor-standing AM 900. The Airlinq Online cloud platform provides centralized remote monitoring, control, and data analytics across all connected units, while the Airlinq User Tool and Service Tool offer local configuration. Demand-controlled ventilation is enabled through integrated CO2, TVOC, PIR, and humidity sensors. Accessories include the RC 1000 cooling module for the AM 1000, control panels (Viva, Orbit), and replacement filters. A BMS API enables integration with Honeywell, Trend, CentraLine, and Priva building management systems.
