With Airmaster & Daikin, Kontrol Goes Down Under

TORONTO -- Kontrol Technologies Corp. a developer of smart buildings via IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology, has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Airmaster Corporation and its New Zealand subsidiary, Optimum Air, and Daikin Australia Pty Ltd. to offer real-time monitoring and detection of airborne pathogens.

Airmaster and Daikin will be provided with a three-year term and a one-year exclusive in the HVAC sector in Australia and New Zealand. Kontrol received an initial purchase of BioCloud units as part of the agreement.

Kontrol BioCloud technology samples the air continuously through a proprietary and patented process. When the device detects a virus, it sends a communication in the Cloud or over local intranet, notifying workplace leaders in real time.

With this actionable information, employers can take the measures needed to mitigate virus outbreaks in the office.

"Kontrol is excited to enter into a distribution partnership with Airmaster and Daikin," said Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol. “We look forward to delivering air quality and real-time space monitoring technology to the work environment through this partnership. The addition of a global leader in the HVAC and HVAR industry is another major advancement for the BioCloud technology.”

Noel Courtney, CEO of Airmaster, said, "As we embark on a new era and approach to facilities management and indoor environment quality, it is vital we extend our services and solutions in order to combat COVID-19, while helping businesses adapt safely and with confidence in this new normal. Kontrol is a forward-thinking organization and their research and development of BioCloud allows us to offer a full-service solution that provides safer spaces and peace of mind for our customers.”

As part of the distribution agreement, Kontrol and Daikin will seek to explore manufacturing opportunities for the BioCloud technology outside of North America.
