History edit

The Temperzone Group was originally formed in New Zealand in 1956[1] by founder Eric L. Kendall. Temperzone's presence in Australia was due to the acquisition of Bradway Engineering in 1985. Today, the business is run by Governing Director & CEO Les Kendall.

General edit

It is one of the few manufacturers in Australia & New Zealand that still manufactures within those countries. It is also one of the only companies in the manufacturing industry that has its management structure within Australasia.

Temperzone was the first manufacturer to use R-410A refrigerant (with a Zero ODP) as a standard across its entire split-ducted, rooftop package & water source heat pump range.

Temperzone is the largest air conditioning manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand.

Hitachi Strategic Alliance edit

On 3 August 2009, Temperzone Australia and Hitachi Appliances announced a strategic alliance which allowed Hitachi air conditioning products to be exclusively distributed within the Australian & New Zealand markets by Temperzone.[2]

2020 Layoffs edit

Temperzone laid off 85 of its employees after New Zealand's nationwide lockdown. [3]
