Leminar Air Conditioning Company, a leading distributor and service provider of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) and plumbing products in the GCC, has been signed up by UK-based Hattersley as the exclusive distributor for its products in Kuwait.

A member of the Al Shirawi Group of Companies, Leminar is the largest HVAC distribution company in the region with six showrooms across the UAE and offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait.

Hattersley, part of Crane Building Services and Utilities, will be one of Leminar’s principal suppliers in Kuwait along with other significant brands like Georg Fischer, RUUD, Mueller, Alfa Laval, Napco, Winters, Armacell and Clima Uno. Leminar is presently the distribution partner for the brand in the UAE as well.

An agreement was signed in this regard between Richard Tuck, the president of Hattersley, and Navin Valrani, the chief executive of Leminar Air Conditioning Company.

Accordingly, Leminar will supply Hattersley’s traditional valves, including ball, butterfly, check, gate and globe valves as well as a range of balancing solutions for constant and variable flow systems for customers in Kuwait.

On the partnership, Tuck said: “Hattersley brand is synonymous with quality, reliability and service to the very highest standards and we insist on having partners who can match up to us.”

“Leminar exceeded the expectations and played an important role in strengthening our regional presence. With their continued support, we hope to achieve remarkable success in Kuwait as well,” he added.

Valrani said: “As a business, it has been our strategic objective to add reputed brands to our portfolio. In 2013, when the alliance with Crane materialised, we were confident this was a brand which had so much to offer on projects in the region. The success we found in the UAE proved us right and we look to repeat the same in Kuwait.”

Earlier in the year, Leminar had also formalised a distribution agreement with Mesan USA for the supply of its CTI (Cooling Technology Institute)-certified products in Kuwait.
