Our own Nick Agopian joined our partners Enertrak Inc. to share what’s next for Smardt, and to introduce Smardt AIR, our new airside business in the Americas.

Smardt AIR brings custom and semi-custom air handling units, alongside a broader portfolio of airside solutions. With a focus on indoor air quality and energy recovery, it’s a meaningful expansion of what Smardt can deliver to consulting engineers, contractors, and building owners – pairing our oil-free centrifugal chiller heritage with purpose-built airside equipment.

Thank you to ASHRAE Montréal for the warm reception, and to the Enertrak team for the continued partnership.

More to come on Smardt AIR in the weeks ahead.

Several members of Smardt’s executive leadership team spent time on the ground at our Melbourne manufacturing facility – connecting with the team, walking the floor, and seeing firsthand the craftsmanship that goes into every chiller built in Bayswater North.

Thanks to the Melbourne team for the hospitality and, more importantly, for the work they do every day. As Smardt continues to expand globally, it’s the dedication of people at each of our sites that powers what comes next.

This year’s ARBS Expo in MCEC Melbourne brought strong momentum and meaningful engagement across the HVAC community. From deep discussions led by our experts to the steady flow of conversations throughout the booth, we had the opportunity to meet with clients and partners to showcase our latest solutions and exchange perspectives on the future of high-performance cooling and air side technologies.

Beyond the exhibition floor, the presence of key members of Smardt’s management team added a significant milestone to the week, as they officially took part in the inauguration of our new Sydney office. In addition, they visited our Melbourne facility for a comprehensive tour, connecting directly with the local team and gaining firsthand insight into the craftsmanship and innovation driving our operations in Australia.

These moments of connection reflect the strength of our partnerships and the continued growth of Smardt in the Asia Pacific region.

To everyone who took the time to visit us in Melbourne, thank you for the conversations, collaboration, and continued trust.

Looking ahead to what’s next.

Rising electricity costs in Singapore are making headlines – and our chillers are part of the solution.

A recent CNA segment featured a Smardt oil-free chiller plant delivering up to 30% energy savings for a major commercial property, without compromising occupant comfort.

In tropical climates, HVAC is the single biggest energy expense. Our oil-free centrifugal chillers are engineered for exactly this: best-in-class part-load efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and savings that compound year over year.

The smartest investment a building owner can make is in the equipment that runs 24/7.
