What Casals Ventilation does

Casals Ventilación, legally CASALS VENTILACIÓN AIR INDUSTRIAL, S.L.U., is a Spanish manufacturer of industrial, commercial, and residential ventilation equipment headquartered in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Girona, with a vertically integrated factory (assembly, paint shop, and in-house impeller production). The company sells axial and centrifugal fans, jet fans, roof and ceiling fans, air handling units, air curtains, HEPA-filter air purifiers, and heat recovery units, organized across four business units (Industrial, Commercial/Tertiary, Residential, and Air Purification). Differentiated offerings include ATEX-certified explosion-proof fans, F300/F400 fire-rated smoke extraction fans, the KIT-PE STAIRSHIELD staircase pressurization system compliant with UNE-EN 12101-13:2022, energy-efficient EC motor technology in products such as ENKELFAN EEC and ORMEN EEC, and the AERONIKA HVLS industrial ceiling fan line. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through hardware sales of these products plus a small technical-services and spare-parts stream (Casals Service); pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company reaches customers through a dual-channel model: regional area managers for the Spanish domestic market and an international distribution network of authorized distributors covering more than 70 countries, supplemented by exclusive territory partners such as AVENS in Turkey. It supports the specifier workflow with downloadable technical documentation in Presto and FIEBDC/BC3 formats and the Fanware online selection platform, available in 50Hz and 60Hz versions with CAD/BIM downloads. Highlighted reference projects include Spain's largest wind tunnel in Valencia (tubular fans delivering 140 km/h airflow) and the world's largest inflatable hangar used for Airbus A330 maintenance (twelve high- and medium-pressure fans with inlet filtration).

Since September 2019, Casals has operated as a subsidiary of Italy-headquartered VORTICE Group, an international ventilation platform with operations in Italy, the United Kingdom, China, and Latin America. The company is a private Spanish S.L.U. (single-member limited liability company) with 101-250 employees, no public listing, and no disclosed funding or revenue figures.
