Airedale moved into our 23,000 square metre purpose built factory and global headquarters in January 2016, following a devastating fire that almost completely destroyed the previous factory on the same site.
The new facility in Leeds, UK is a one-stop-shop for leading-edge HVAC solutions, with all the core functions of the business on one floor and under one roof. With a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating in recognition of its environmental credentials, the new headquarters features one of the largest and most extensive R&D centres in Europe as well as a training centre, sheet steel cutting plant, paint plant, coil plant, three production lines, test chambers and offices.
Originally a mill operated by L J Booth, Airedale acquired the site in 1979. With an approximate area of 23,000 square metres, the new facility occupies broadly the same footprint but is designed around the needs of a 21st century manufacturing business.
Together with significant investment in leading-edge capital equipment, the Airedale manufacturing plant enjoys excellent efficiencies in operation with linear production flow and state-of-the-art production management systems. The facility also includes a world leading research and development (R&D) facility which, with the capacity to test systems of up to 2 Megawatts, is believed to be one of the largest of its kind in northern Europe. A wide range of temperatures and voltages can be applied when testing systems, replicating divergent global conditions under which units are likely to operate when exported to their final destination.
As a global company with manufacturing locations in Spain, the United States and the United Kingdom, our Leeds Headquarters serves as a centre of excellence, ensuring the Airedale reputation for quality and engineering ingenuity is replicated across all our operations.
