What Tramax does

Tramax Limited is a Kazakhstan-based authorized distributor of TRANE HVAC equipment, founded in 1996 as MAXIMA Corporation and rebranded under its current name in January 1999 when it secured the exclusive TRANE distribution mandate for the Republic of Kazakhstan. The company is headquartered in Almaty with a regional branch in Astana (Nur-Sultan) opened in 1999, and operates approximately 60 employees supplemented by partner installers. Its core offering is the design, supply, installation, commissioning, and ongoing service maintenance of commercial and industrial HVAC systems - chillers (air-cooled RTAF, RTAD, GVAF and water-cooled RTWD/RTUD, RTHD), AIRFINITY rooftop units, CCEB air handling units, fan coils, compressor-condenser units, cooling towers, and dry coolers. Equipment is sourced directly from TRANE and complementary vendors (Eurapo, Euroclima, Euroklimat, Remak, VTS, Trox) without intermediaries, and the company maintains its own spare-parts warehouse for rapid defect resolution.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales, project-based professional services (design, installation, commissioning), and recurring service-maintenance contracts.
