History[edit]
The Temperzone Group was originally formed in New Zealand in 1956[1] by founder Eric L. Kendall. Temperzone's presence in Australia was due to the acquisition of Bradway Engineering in 1985. Today, the business is run by Governing Director & CEO Les Kendall.
General[edit]
It is one of the few manufacturers in Australia & New Zealand that still manufactures within those countries. It is also one of the only companies in the manufacturing industry that has its management structure within Australasia.
Temperzone was the first manufacturer to use R-410A refrigerant (with a Zero ODP) as a standard across its entire split-ducted, rooftop package & water source heat pump range.
Temperzone is the largest air conditioning manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand.
