What Eco Pacific Pty Ltd does

Eco Pacific Pty Ltd is a family-owned Australian manufacturer of residential and commercial HVAC equipment, founded in 1998 and headquartered at 58-60 Quantum Close, Dandenong South, Victoria. The company designs and produces three core product lines under its proprietary brands: Super Star high-efficiency compact gas ducted heaters (12.5-31.5 kW, 4.6-4.8 star rated), Aqua Breeze fresh air evaporative coolers (AB119-AB182 models), and a family of heat recovery ventilators branded AussiVent/Aussie Vent, EcoVent, and FreshVent. The underlying technology centres on proprietary stainless steel and marine-grade aluminium counterflow heat exchangers delivering up to 85% heat/cool recovery effectiveness, supported by four federal and state government innovation grants (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) and a research collaboration with RMIT University.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer and channel-driven go-to-market: products are sold through the company website (ecopacific.com.au) with public unit pricing (AUD 1,750-3,134), through a Victorian dealer network, and directly to builders, contractors, and commercial accounts. Ancillary revenue comes from installation services, gas heater servicing (including a 30-point inspection program for Omega and Super Star units), and a separate 3D additive metal manufacturing service (SLM280 selective laser melting) serving health and defence sectors. The company has also explored international markets through exhibitions in India and at the ARBS International Exhibition in Melbourne.

Eco Pacific operates from a single manufacturing facility in southeast Victoria approximately 45 km from Melbourne CBD, established after acquiring Stadt Industries' manufacturing business in 2006. It has no public listing, no disclosed private equity or venture capital investors, and no disclosed headcount or revenue figures. Customer segments span residential, commercial (offices, factories, schools, aged-care centres), builders/renovators, contractors, and retailers across Victoria and Australia-wide, with limited but recurring international exhibition activity as an outward signal.
