• VORTICE GROUP (Parent Company)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2010LORAN (now Vortice Industrial) joined VORTICE GROUP in 2010, bringing industrial air handling unit expertise to the parent company's ventilation portfolio. This acquisition initiated VORTICE GROUP's strategic transformation from a domestic Italian brand to a multinational HVAC group. The parent company, founded in 1954 by Attilio Pagani in Tribiano (Milan), now operates globally with subsidiaries in Latin America (2012), China (2013), and Spain through CASALS acquisition (2019), growing from 160 employees in 2009 to over 400 worldwide.
