What Airmax does
Airmax Gujarat Pvt. Ltd. is a privately held engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm specialising exclusively in turnkey HVAC and cleanroom solutions for pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the company designs, executes, commissions, and validates cGMP-compliant HVAC systems for API plants, oral solid dosage (OSD) facilities, injectables (SVP/LVP), soft gelatin capsule plants, potent drug / oncology facilities, and MDI/DPI inhalation plants for Indian and international pharma manufacturers. Its customer base includes Concord Biotech, IPCA Laboratories, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, Eris Lifesciences, Glenmark, Stallion Laboratories, Dishman Carbogen Amcis, Sakar Healthcare, Halewood Laboratories, Montage Laboratories, and Apothecon Pharmaceuticals, among others.
The core technology stack centres on pharmaceutical-grade Air Handling Units (AHUs), ACD (AHU-cum-Dehumidifier) units capable of relative humidity control down to ~20%, Treated Fresh Air (TFA) units, Bag-In-Bag-Out (BIBO) containment for potent compounds, vapour absorption chillers, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant Building Management Systems and Environmental Monitoring Systems. Airmax supplies Eurovent-certified equipment through a strategic partnership with Sweden-based OEM Systemair, integrating turnkey design with regulatory-grade documentation across USFDA, EMA, WHO, and PIC/S frameworks, claiming 200+ regulatory approvals achieved on client facilities and 400+ projects across 9+ countries spanning South Asia, CIS, and Africa.
Airmax monetises through project-based, quote-priced EPC contracts with enterprise pharmaceutical manufacturers, with no standardised pricing tiers and revenue generated per facility by tonnage and equipment scope. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by trade-show origination (Interphex NYC, Pharma Eurasia Tashkent, Pharma & Lab Expo Gandhinagar) and is led by MD Jignesh Parikh, Technical Director Siddhant Parikh, and VP Sales & Operations Ketan Choksi. International expansion has accelerated into Uzbekistan, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Ghana, and Gabon, supported by the August 2024 Systemair strategic alliance and a November 2023 office expansion in Ahmedabad.
