Seeley International has announced its acquisition of commercial and industrial HVAC business Integrated Comfort Inc (ICI), a leading and well-respected Sacramento-based manufacturer of highly efficient patented evaporative pre-cooling products.
Seeley International group managing director, Jon Seeley said the purchase of the ICI brand complements and extends Seeley’s hyper-efficient commercial product range, and presents opportunity to fast-track the company’s international expansion plans in the United States.
“This acquisition is a perfect fit for both organisations, strengthening our presence in the lucrative US market and supporting our trajectory growth to become a $1 billion company,” Seeley said.
“As a market leader, Seeley International is always looking at opportunities to invest in innovative companies that share common values and offer hyper-efficient products that can complement our own award-winning solutions. We have been very impressed by ICI and its highly-successful DualCool commercial and industrial cooling technology.
ICI will continue to operate under its existing brand and management team, with the added global support that comes with being part of the broader Seeley International Group.”
ICI DualCool strengths include an impressive and reliable on-time delivery, successful warranty and service program and a controls integration system that maximises energy savings.
The business has now successfully completed the installation of DualCool evaporative pre-coolers in more than 380 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores across the country, which equates to more than 2570 DualCool units.
ICI’s DualCool product will now become part of Seeley International Group’s extensive portfolio that includes the trusted brands, Breezair, Climate Wizard, Coolerado, Convair, Coolair and Braemar.
President and CEO of ICI, Dick Bourne, said ICI customers would ultimately benefit from Seeley International’s extensive market experience, award-winning product lines, and its unwavering commitment to innovation.
“ICI is committed to helping customers improve their energy efficiency and better manage costs without compromising the comfort of their buildings. This exciting new collaboration with Seeley International will support our sustained growth and expansion in the years ahead,” he said.
“While it will be business as usual for ICI customers, they will now have added peace of mind knowing that they are now also supported and backed by the Seeley International Group’s extensive knowledge of commercial and industrial products.”
