Walter Meier benefits from focus on applied air-conditioning systems

Walter Meier (Climate UK) reports a 26% increase in its sales of chillers and VRF air-conditioning systems in the last year following a strategic decision to focus on applied air-conditioning and humidification products. The company no longer supplies single split systems, unless they are an integral part of an engineered solution. Managing director Mike Slattery says, ‘For over 35 years our company has differentiated itself through an emphasis on engineering expertise and technical support. The UK single split-system market has evolved to the point where added-value engineering support is less important than price, and this is at odds with Walter Meier’s group strategy. ‘We are, however, ideally placed to add value to applied air-conditioning products, where our expertise proves invaluable to both specifiers and contractors.’
