Seeley International is celebrating its golden jubilee in 2022 marking 50 years of world-leading climate control solutions.
The Seeley family business has grown from humble beginnings into Australia’s largest air conditioning and heating manufacturer and a global leader in the HVAC manufacturing industry, developing remarkable, energy efficient cooling and heating products.
More than 80,000 finished goods and 1.5 million components are manufactured here in Australia every year.
Seeley International is particularly pleased to have 12 world-first products to its name and remains Australia’s most awarded manufacturer for the sector.
In more recent times, its long and amazing track record has equipped it with the expertise, infrastructure and resources to seamlessly deliver large scale HVAC mega-projects around the world.
Having its global headquarters in Australia, over 500 employees and three manufacturing facilities, Seeley International exports to more than 100 countries around the world through its global distributor network.
With its own sales offices in the USA, UK, France, Italy and South Africa, the company has delivered millions of installations around the globe.
Seeley International has a large R&D investment, focused on energy efficiency, emissions reduction, peak demand reduction, improved health and biological control, as well as extreme climate performance capability.
Seeley International has more than 300 independent dealerships and specialist retailers in Australia and an extensive network of distributors and retailers across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and the USA.
Seeley founder and executive chair, Frank Seeley, described the milestone as immensely gratifying.
“Our values have stayed true for more than five decades and continue to underpin who we are, what we do and how we do it,” he said.
“Without the loyalty and commitment of our workforce, customer networks and trusted suppliers, our many successes simply could not have been achieved. I, Kathy and Jon Seeley thank all of you who have been with us during this exciting journey.”
The company’s group managing director, Jon Seeley, said Seeley International has a key role to play in national and global emissions reduction, since conventional air conditioning is a major contributor to energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
“Our highly innovative products can reduce energy consumption by up to 80 per cent, whilst also delivering increased ventilation which is so important for health and wellbeing,” he said.
“Increasingly, we are seeing the convergence of sustainability and health, with the growing challenge of providing better ventilation and more efficient delivery of fresh, outside air. This is something that Seeley International’s technologies have been delivering on, for decades.
“We have recently announced that our gas heating products are hydrogen-ready, embracing a sustainable transition away from fossil fuels and demonstrating our commitment to a zero emissions future.”
Looking ahead at the next 50 years of business success, Seeley is optimistic.
“Our commitment remains strong and our enduring values will ensure we deliver next-generation solutions that go above and beyond customer expectations,” he said.
“Together with our customers, suppliers and staff, our success will continue to create employment, generate prosperity and showcase home-grown innovation at its finest.”
Seeley International’s vision is to lead the world in creating climate control solutions which are highly innovative, of premium quality and inspirational in their delivery of energy-efficiency.
