What air group oy does

Air Group Oy is a Finnish privately held contract manufacturer and HVAC product specialist, founded in 1997 and operating from two production sites in Akaa (headquarters) and Tampere with 39 employees. The company serves industrial B2B customers across five verticals — Construction & Building HVAC, Marine, Machine Building & Industrial Manufacturing, Electrical Industry, and Food Industry — delivering custom and large-series sheet metal and HVAC components, including terminals, dampers, ducts, louvres, lamella dampers, marine ventilation products, filter housings, and crossover pieces. Manufacturing capabilities span CNC fiber laser cutting up to 20mm thickness, progressive press tooling with strip widths up to 600mm for series of 10,000+ pieces, MIG/MAG/TIG welding, computer-controlled polyurethane sealing, and finishing treatments including tempering, barrel tumbling, galvanisation, and e-coating. Products carry M1 purity ratings, IP code type approvals, and LVI numbers, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (first awarded 2022, re-certified 2025).

The business operates across five revenue streams: contract manufacturing of sheet metal and pressed products, custom product development and design services, HVAC product sales, full system deliveries with assembly and packaging, and post-treatment finishing services. GTM is enterprise field sales with direct project-based engagement, supplemented by participation in the Alihankinta subcontracting trade fair, an Instagram channel, and the company website. A 24-hour laser cutting service targets key customers with urgent turnaround needs. Distribution is primarily direct to industrial customers and wholesalers in Finland, with exports to Germany and France established since 2019. Air Group's R&D function is supported by a long-standing cooperation with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland for sound and flow measurements, and the company is currently developing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to align with EU sustainability disclosure requirements in construction products.

Direct peers

• Halton Group: Finnish-headquartered global manufacturer of indoor air solutions for HVAC, including terminals, dampers, and sound attenuators. Most directly comparable peer — same Finnish/Nordic base, same HVAC product categories (terminals, louvres, duct components), and same commercial/marine customer overlap.
• Lindab: Swedish-listed manufacturer of ventilation and indoor climate solutions, including spiral ducts, duct components, and pressed sheet metal parts. Closely matches Air Group's product set on galvanized spiral ducts and contract sheet metal pressing for HVAC.
• Lasertec Oy: Finnish sheet metal job shop specializing in laser cutting and contract manufacturing. Closely comparable subcontract manufacturing business with overlapping technology stack (fiber laser cutting, sheet metal fabrication) and overlapping customer base in Finnish industry.
• MP-Metalprisma Oy: Finnish sheet metal contract manufacturer offering laser cutting, bending, welding, and finishing services. Direct competitor in Finnish subcontract sheet metal market with comparable capabilities and customer overlap in machine building and electrical industry.

Broad incumbents

• FläktGroup: Major European HVAC manufacturer offering fans, air handling units, dampers, and ventilation components. Overlaps with Air Group on duct dampers, lamella dampers, and air distribution equipment serving commercial HVAC installers.
• Systemair: Swedish-listed ventilation and indoor climate company with broad HVAC product portfolio including air handling units, fans, and duct accessories. Competes with Air Group on European commercial HVAC projects where Air Group exports.
• Swegon: Nordic-based (Sweden) HVAC manufacturer with product portfolio spanning terminals, dampers, air handling units, and indoor climate systems. Strong geographic and product overlap with Air Group's commercial HVAC offerings.

Regional players

• Caverion: Finnish-headquartered multitechnical services and HVAC solutions provider. Competes in the same Finnish HVAC market as Air Group and could be both a customer (subcontracting) and a competitor (HVAC system delivery).

Others

• Onninen: Finnish HVAC and electrical wholesale distributor that is both a potential customer (stocking Air Group components) and an adjacent channel participant in the same Finnish HVAC value chain.
• VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland: Finland's applied research organization and Air Group's R&D partner. Included as an ecosystem/partner reference rather than competitor; relevant because the relationship gives Air Group access to measurement and prototyping capabilities otherwise unavailable at its scale.
