What atek does

ATEK (АО «АТЕК») is a privately held Russian HVAC engineering firm headquartered in Moscow, founded in 1992 and operating continuously for more than 25 years on the professional climate-control market. The company delivers turnkey air conditioning, ventilation, and heating systems for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, government institutions, premium residential complexes, and sports/hospitality venues across Russia and CIS countries. ATEK does not manufacture proprietary hardware; its offering is an integrated engineering service spanning project design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, and 24/7 warranty and post-warranty maintenance, with the engineering team led by 9 PhD-level specialists trained at international equipment manufacturers.

The company's product portfolio centers on the chiller-fan coil architecture (chillers, compressor-condenser units, central air handling units, precision air conditioning, VRF multi-zone systems, industrial ventilation, and free-cooling chiller systems), all sourced from internationally recognized manufacturers. ATEK holds official distributor status with Carrier (20+ years), Climaveneta, Fiorini, Aerotek, and Wolf, supplying equipment both as standalone units and as part of integrated project packages. A technical differentiator is the in-house development of WebCTRL/BACnet-based dispatching and building automation systems for chillers and fan coils, enabling centralized management of multi-vendor HVAC installations. Free-cooling technology is highlighted as reducing compressor energy consumption by up to 30% when ambient temperature drops below 6°C.

ATEK's go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales from Moscow headquarters (for large government, diplomatic, and industrial clients) with a regional dealer network across Russia and CIS. Revenue streams span hardware sales (one-time equipment supply), professional services (design, installation, commissioning), and recurring maintenance contracts. Documented customers span the Embassy of Canada, Sberbank, LUKOIL, Kurchatov Institute, the EU Delegation, Otkrytie Arena, SAN InBev, Ford Sollers, Nestlé, and DHL, among others, totaling 4,100+ projects over the company's history. The operating model is asset-light: a lean 17-person core team focuses on engineering, design, and project management, while installation labor is likely subcontracted for larger projects.
