Conditionaire International

What Conditionaire International does

Conditionaire International Pty Limited is a privately held Australian specialist in laboratory and industrial fume extraction, headquartered and manufacturing at a 4,500sqm facility in Marrickville, New South Wales. The company was founded in 1952 and introduced Australia's first standard laboratory fume cupboards in 1957, later co-developing the proprietary ASAH fire-resistant and chemically-stable material with CSIRO in 1968 to address fire hazards in fibreglass cupboards. Its product range spans three fume cupboard lines (Safe-Tee Series 2000 and 1000 in ASAH, plus the uPVC Econoflow for schools), chemical-resistant exhaust fans (PM and SEAT series), fume scrubbers, ducting, Nederman and Alsident exhaust arms, canopy hoods, chemical storage cabinets, air curtains, and laboratory furniture, supported by an in-house service department offering NATA-accredited testing and tiered Bronze, Silver and Gold maintenance contracts.

The business operates a sales-led, direct go-to-market model targeting Australian universities, research institutions (including CSIRO), hospitals, secondary schools, museums and innovation hubs, with international projects executed on a direct install basis (e.g., Papua New Guinea University of Technology). Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, recurring annual service subscriptions, and professional services covering design, installation, commissioning and NATA-accredited certification under ISO/IEC 17025 for AS/NZS 2243.8 and 2243.9. Distribution is fully direct, leveraging approved-supplier partnerships with Nederman, Alsident, SEAT and ASESCOS to bundle third-party components with proprietary ASAH-based cupboards, creating an integrated design-to-certify channel.
