Systemair and Fantech, a subsidiary of Systemair, are harmonious brands with complementary products, so they offer engineers and installers the opportunity to work with one source and point of contact to specify nearly all of the ventilation needs throughout mixed-use buildings, from the underground parking garage to the ground-floor yoga studio to the guest bathroom in the penthouse condo.
