Condair and Humidair Launch Joint Venture to Strengthen Humidity Control Solutions in Southern Africa

Pfäffikon, Switzerland, and Johannesburg, South Africa – August, 03, 2026 – A new joint venture begins between Condair and Humidair, ensuring the Southern African HVAC industry is at the forefront of humidity control.

Condair and Humidair have officially launched Condair Southern Africa, a new joint venture that strengthens their long-standing partnership and creates a dedicated regional sales, service and technical support hub for the Southern African market. The new company will provide customers with enhanced access to humidity control expertise, local service capabilities and direct manufacturer support.

Since 1995, Condair and Humidair have worked in partnership, supporting the Southern African region with Condair’s humidification, dehumidification and evaporative cooling systems.

This successful relationship has helped Humidair become the go-to supplier of humidity control services in Southern Africa, building deep connections with customers across the region.

As of 3rd August 2026, Condair and Humidair have jointly launched Condair Southern Africa, with the objective of further enhancing the offering available to customers in the region. This includes even more technical support, opportunities to expand with a dedicated service offering over the coming years, a new office and large warehouse facility to attract local talent and competitive pricing direct from the manufacturer. This is all underpinned by the same highly skilled team that has been running Humidair previously.

Christiaan Schalekamp, Managing Director of Condair Southern Africa, says:

“This is a very exciting moment for the South African HVAC industry. As Condair Southern Africa, we will be able to continue to drive change across the region at an accelerated rate. From increasing awareness of the importance of indoor air quality, to highlighting the efficiency and energy-saving opportunities that come with a tailored approach to humidity control, our focus remains firmly on supporting customers with practical, high-quality solutions. Customers will continue to work with the same experienced local team, but now with even closer access to Condair’s global product knowledge, technical expertise and manufacturing strength.”

Urs Hefti, Head of Sales at Condair Global Sales AG, adds: 

“The launch of Condair Southern Africa is an important step in our strategy to build a strong regional sales and service hub for Southern Africa. Humidair has developed an excellent reputation in the market, and this joint venture allows us to combine that local knowledge with Condair’s international experience and wide-ranging product portfolio.

“Our goal is to support sustainable growth across the region, not only in South Africa but also in neighbouring markets where demand for professional humidity control is increasing. By working as one team, we can provide customers with stronger technical support, better access to solutions, and a clear long-term commitment to the Southern African market.”

With local expertise, direct manufacturer support and a growing service capability, Condair Southern Africa is well positioned to provide a stronger platform for customers, consultants and contractors looking for reliable humidity control solutions across the region.
