What Airvent does

Airvent Légtechnikai Zrt. is a privately held Hungarian-Swedish joint-stock company (Zrt.) founded in 1989 and headquartered in Kecskemét, Hungary, with branch operations in Budapest, Debrecen, and Szombathely. The company manufactures and distributes air ventilation and air handling equipment under proprietary product lines including MultiPlex (modular industrial air handling units, Eurovent-certified, 1,200-27,500 m³/h range), AltiPlex (compact air handling units), and a chilled-beam family (OptimAir, FreeAir, PremiAir), alongside diffusers, anemostats, silencers, fire and smoke dampers, fans, volume controllers, and UV-C air sterilization solutions. Core technology includes the patent-protected EasyLink rapid-assembly connection system, the proprietary CA-Plex automation system with Modbus RTU/TCP connectivity, the DUAL dual-function hinge mechanism, and the UV-C FiltAir sterilization platform co-developed with Neumann János University under an NKFI-funded R&D program. Primary revenue derives from B2B sales of HVAC equipment and components via direct field sales, a regional branch and warehouse network, channel partners across Hungary and 20 export countries, and an e-commerce webshop for standard catalogue items. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; project-based sales and designer-support services feed customer relationships across commercial buildings, healthcare/clean rooms, agriculture and industry, hotels and hospitality, and residential segments. The company employs ~250 people, produces approximately 500,000 units annually, and holds Eurovent certification, EPD Norway-certified Environmental Product Declarations across five product families, and the 2024 'Év Gyártója' (Manufacturer of the Year) industry award. Distribution is sales-led with technical pre-sales support, dedicated designer assistance, and active BIM library presence through MagiCAD Cloud.
