Oliver Zimmermann, CEO, Condair Group

Condair Group is the world’s leading manufacturer of industrial and commercial humidification and evaporative cooling solutions. Its administrative head office and main R&D center are located in the Swiss Canton of Schwyz.

What is your outlook for humidity solutions in the USA?

Condair offers a complete technology portfolio for all industries, and promotes the benefits of humidification technology beyond the implementation within solely industrial and commercial applications. The expansion to other industries and applications presents large growth opportunities. Whether at the office or at home, we spend 90% of our time indoors and incorrect levels of humidity often leave a sense of malaise. Condair offers a large portfolio of technologies to minimize the effects of dry air, and is entering the private end-user market with new and innovative solutions for the residential segment. Adequate humidification ensures our immune defense systems stay active, and helps productivity in the office environment. 

In what memorable sites do we find humidification solutions from Condair?

Humidification is an essential part of value preservation within museums. Condair has installed devices that protect the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, and the Smithsonian facilities from excessive dryness. Condair also installed the world’s largest evaporative outdoor cooling system in the world in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
