What SALDA does

SALDA (UAB "SALDA") is a Lithuanian manufacturer of ventilation and air handling equipment, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Šiauliai, with an additional sales office in Vilnius. The company employs approximately 330 staff and operates a vertically integrated manufacturing footprint that produces a full ventilation product family: residential heat recovery ventilators (HRV), compact ventilation units, modular air handling units, industrial fans, ductwork components, industrial dust extraction systems, and certified hygienic units for healthcare and sensitive environments. The portfolio is sold across residential, commercial, public, and industrial building segments, with no software or recurring SaaS layer disclosed in the input.

The company monetizes through hardware sales to B2B and B2C customers across more than 30 countries, primarily in Europe. Go-to-market combines direct digital channels—including an e-commerce storefront (e-parduotuvė), a product selection tool (Select.salda.lt), and regional websites for Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, and English-speaking markets—with a partner-led distribution model. Named distribution partners include Helios UK for the United Kingdom, Cairox Belgium for Belgium, and Oxygen8 for additional markets. SALDA also participates in industry collaboration through the IC Forum alongside Uponor, IGLU TECH, FabricAir, and REFRA on cross-HVAC topics.

Recent strategic activity is concentrated on geographic expansion and channel buildout: a dedicated Sweden push with a localized website and Stockholm Nordbygg 2026 trade show participation, alongside the rollout of regional websites and the new product selection tool. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A transactions, leadership changes, or revenue figures in the input data, which constrains visibility into ownership structure, financial scale, and unit economics. The overall profile is that of a long-established, privately held European mid-market HVAC OEM pursuing incremental international growth through partnerships and localized digital channels.
