You hear comments like this all the time: ‘but we don’t manufacture any major appliances in Australia, do we?’
Well actually we do – in fact many of Australia’s most loved appliances in areas from cooking, to air conditioning are still made locally.
A stand-out is Seeley International, which has just revealed it has made it to its 50th year as Australia’s largest air conditioning and heating manufacturer.
The company’s 500 staff manufacture evaporative air conditioning systems based on plastic moulding technology under the Breezair, Coolair and Climate Wizard brands in Adelaide, and Braemar heating products focused on metal working technologies in Albury, New South Wales.
Its latest development – a unique indirect evaporative air conditioning technology utilising a heat exchange core, allows evaporation to cool to temperatures only previously possible with reversed cycle systems.
Group Managing Director Jon Seeley said: “We have a key role to play in national and global emissions reduction, since conventional air conditioning is a major contributor to energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
