“We are looking to India as the next manufacturing base…”

Established in Linköping, Sweden in 1949, Fergas has been providing air moving solutions for 75 years. Fergas India has a registered office in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. In a brief interaction during ACREX 2025, Jaideep Natha, General Manager, of the company focuses on how his company is addressing the emerging challenges. Excerpts…

With increasing urbanization and energy efficiency concerns, how is your company adapting to resolve these issues?

Fergas is a Swedish company specializing in the manufacturing of forward-curved impellers, backward-curved impellers, and cross-flow blowers. With over 75 years of expertise, we have continuously refined and improved our designs to meet industry standards.

Energy efficiency has become a key focus in today’s world. Our innovative “Key Rivet” technology makes impellers lighter, enhancing the energy efficiency of the final product.

For our Cross Flow Blower range, we are prioritizing EC (Electronically Commutated) products this year. By integrating EC energy-saving motors into our cross-flow line, we aim to offer enhanced efficiency and performance. The complete EC blower range is showcased at our stall in ACREX India 2025.

Reliability and quality assurance are key and primary factors for today’s world. How is your company adapting to this and whatchanges are you making??

We are currently have manufacturing facilities in Sweden, Italy, and China and is exploring India as the next potential manufacturing base.

Our expertise in air movement is demonstrated through specialized techniques and innovative products, including our patented “Key Rivet” technology— initially developed by Fergas for the assembly of blower wheels. Additionally, our fully automated blower wheel robot line is one of the unique technologies that sets us apart.

Although the Key Rivet patent has now expired, it remains a groundbreaking innovation. This technology enhances the strength and rigidity of impellers, allowing them to operate at higher RPMs while maintaining consistent performance. As a result, our customers benefit from greater reliability and durability in their applications.

Events like ACREX have become a crucial part in shaping the HVAC industry. How do  you think the events are important for  companies like you and what is your takeaway for this year?

Events like ACREX play a crucial role in shaping the HVAC industry, providing a platform for companies to showcase innovations, connect with industry leaders, and stay ahead of emerging trends.

At Fergas, ACREX has always been a key event in our global exhibition calendar, and we have never missed an edition. This year, we leveraged the opportunity to present our entire product range, including backward-curved impellers, forward-curved impellers, and cross-flow blowers.

A key takeaway from this edition of ACREX is our stronger focus on EC (Electronically Commutated) products, which are designed for enhanced energy efficiency. We have integrated EC motors into our cross-flow blower range, and the entire EC blower lineup is on display at our stall.

In today’s world, energy efficiency is more critical than ever, and Fergas remains committed to developing cutting-edge solutions that align with this growing industry demand.
