GRIG (Giordano Riello International Group) Spa, a global leader in the HVAC sector, has announced the acquisition of Spanish companies Airlan SA and Airlan Industrial SA. This strategic move reinforces GRIG’s position in both the European and international markets.

It demonstrates our commitment to growth and consolidating our leadership in the HVAC industry both in Italy and globally.”
