Air Master Equipment Emirates, a leading Ajman-based manufacturer and supplier of quality air outlet products for the air-conditioning industry, will put on show the company’s new fire dampers, which are certified both by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the UAE Civil Defence.

The new fire dampers meets all international specifications and will be manufactured at our Ajman facility, says AR Harshan, general manager sales.
“Apart from the fire dampers, the company also intends to promote its existing range of products that include central air-conditioners, grilles, diffusers and other galvanised iron (GI) accessories,” he adds.
Air Master is also on an ambitious expansion plan, which should see the company spreading its manufacturing activities in the other GCC countries as well. “We have already acquired lands in some of the markets where we intend to make a foray sometime soon,” says Harshan.
As part of the expansion activities, the company has already started production at its new Kuwait facility that was completed a couple of months ago.
“Once the facility is fully complete, the Kuwait plant will have the same capacity as our existing base facility in Ajman,” Harshan says.
With the commissioning of the Kuwait facility, Air Master currently has three manufacturing facilities, adding to the ones existing at Ajman and Umm Al Quwain. “The entire production capacity of the Umm Al Quwain powder coating facility has been set aside to handle commercial jobs from the region,” he says.
Having laid its foundations in the emirate of Ajman in 1987, Air Master has continually scaled new heights and is currently enjoying the status of a market leader, says Harshan.
“Our vision for growth became a reality when we set up a factory in Ajman. It was a modest beginning and within 20 years we have posted incredible results of growth and, performance, whilst earning a reputation for quality and excellence, not only in the UAE but also in the neighbouring countries,” he adds.

“Our progressive growth is attributed to the hands-on approach of the management in all aspects of commercial and technical management. In addition, our products are approved by the leading consultants and contractors in the Middle East and the subcontinent,” he says.
An IS0 9001:2000 company, Air Master currently manufactures grilles and diffusers for central air-conditioning, volume control dampers, access doors, fire dampers and a range of flexible ducts. These products are manufactured, assembled and inspected by the company to ensure that they are suitable for the job for which they are specified, says Harshan.
“The company’s grilles and diffusers and other products are designed and tested in accordance with some of the recognised standards that include: ANSI/ASHRAE 70-1991, ADC Test Code 1062GRD84, ISO 3741, and ISO 5219.
