Leminar Air Conditioning Industries, a leader in quality HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) ductwork manufacturing in the region, has inaugurated its state-of-the-art FFC-UK manufacturing line for fire-rated ducts in Doha, Qatar.

 The new line will allow Leminar to cater to HVAC contractors’ growing requirements of fire-rated duct systems.

The installation will also ramp up the overall production capacity of the facility. At present, Leminar manufactures HVAC rectangular ducts, sound attenuators, fire dampers, VCDs (volume control dampers) and VAVs (variable air volume) systems at the 25,000-sq-ft facility, which is ISO 9001:2008 certified and is equipped with an automated duct line and a range of other modern machinery.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in the presence of Ullatil Achu, general manager of Dyarco International Group, a member of Qatar’s leading private business Al Faisal Holding and the manufacturer’s joint venture partner; Navin Valrani, CEO of Leminar Air Conditioning Industries, Dipak Bhadra, general manager of Leminar Air Conditioning Industries, senior managers and employees.

Valrani said: “We have steadily invested in our facilities and employees, focused on innovating our product range and developed our own brand, as part of our strategy to establish ourselves as the undisputed industry leader. With the added capacity and continued support of Dyarco, we will now consolidate our lead in sheet metal fabrication.”

 Bhadra added: “With fire safety protocols and regulations getting stringent, HVAC contractors are becoming more discerning and the demand for fire-rated ducts is growing. The new line will help us serve the market even better.”
