Humidification is an essential process, especially required in countries that experience very cold weather. Beyond pharmaceutical applications, the need for humidification is felt in maintaining human com­fort as well, and for creating healthy living environments. In India humidifiers have not been given as much impor­tance given the tropical climate and mild winters that are experienced here. However, the need for maintaining 40 percent to 60 percent relative humidity is being under­stood for preventing the spread of airborne infections. Beyond these applications, humidifiers are key in process equipment where the supply air is not recirculated, of maintaining constant conditions of temperature and rela­tive humidity throughout the year.

Within this realm, Condair, a Switzerland-based firm, founded in 1948, and a global leader in humidification, dehumidification and evaporative cooling stands as a promising partner, offering solutions designed for customer success. Spread across 23 countries and leveraging a vast network of distributors established in 50 locations, Condair is an industry pioneer, strengthened in India by Humidity Technologies Pvt. Ltd., its chosen partner and distributor for process air treatment and HVAC systems in the pharmaceutical sector.

Tailoring its solutions to the needs of its clients, Condair carries forward a structured and strategic approach which starts with a careful analysis of the clients’ requirements. This is a critical step as varied products need a specific set of temperature and humidity levels throughout the processing phase. As such, data collection becomes essential, which is followed by careful assessment of the ambient conditions at the installation location, which gives insight for the next phase which is selecting the right kind of humidifier. Along with these steps, the company takes careful measures to ensure that compatible control systems are integrated for effortless installation and functioning of the humidifier system.

Throughout these processes, the company maintains its focus on integration of required utilities with the equipment . Following delivery of the product, ensuring that the system reaches clients on time, the company further makes sure that it offers services like installation and commissioning assistance as an essential part of its after-sales services. Moreover, the company also offers ongoing support by ensuring it maintains stocks of service parts to minimize downtime.

”Condair gears its business to the needs of everyone who has a stake in the company’s success. The focus is long term, and Condair knows that they shall only succeed in the distant future with the help and satisfaction of all those involved. We have devised a value proposition as a basis for sustained collaboration with everyone who has a stake in the company’s success.
