What Blauberg does

Blauberg UK Ltd. is a Leicester-based distributor and specification house for residential and commercial ventilation and heat recovery equipment, operating as a UK subsidiary of the worldwide Blauberg Group, a German-engineered ventilation manufacturer with representations in France, Ireland, Iceland, and Portugal. Founded in 2016 and employing 11–50 staff, the company supplies Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV), decentralised MEV (dMEV), single-room heat recovery units, extractor fans, and commercial air handling units under sub-brands including Calm, Smart, Turbo, Iso-Mix, Centris (domestic); Vento, Aeris, Envira, Freshbox, Reneo, Komfort (heat recovery); and Civic, BlauAir, BlauBUILD, EcoSlim (commercial). Core technology centres on ceramic-core heat exchangers delivering up to 95% thermal recovery, EC motors, F7 standard filtration with optional H13 HEPA and carbon stages, and electronics ranging from simple humidity/motion sensors to WiFi, smart-home, and BMS (Modbus, BACnet) integration on commercial units.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct e-commerce to homeowners and self-builders, a trade channel via an Approved Installer Network and architect/specifier design packages, and project-level technical consultation for commercial and social-housing customers. Revenue is generated through unit hardware sales with a public price ladder spanning roughly £2 accessories to £10,199 commercial AHUs, with trade pricing tiers for partners. Customer segments are highly fragmented across residential, self-build, social housing/landlords, education, commercial offices, retail, healthcare, and commercial kitchens, with no disclosed enterprise anchors. Independent third-party validations (DIBt certification for VENTO-MIDI, PassivHaus certification for Komfort EC-SB 550, ERP 2018 compliance, and UK Building Regulations Parts F, L, and O conformance) underpin specification sales, alongside BREEAM and Net Zero alignment for commercial projects. The company also offers MVHR/MEV/purge design packages and indoor air quality testing services for homes, social housing, offices, and schools.
