Our Roots are in Sweden
Established in 1959 in Grevie, Sweden, Lindab has grown into the world's number one producer of round duct systems. As a multinational corporation, the company has 125 locations in 22 countries and more than 3500 employees. For many years Lindab was a member of the Stockholm and Copenhagen stock exchanges when, in 2001, a consortium of private Swedish investors purchased the company and turned it into a private company. The new Board of Directors includes the current CEO Lindab AB, Carl-Gustaf Sondén.

Pioneers of Ductwork
Many of Lindab's innovations have helped to revolutionize the entire sheet metal industry. For example:
o SPIROsafe® is the first double-lipped gasketed duct system in the HVAC industry
o Lindab is the first company to guarantee that its duct system will outperform the tightest standards that ASHRAE and SMACNA address, Leakage Class 3
o Lindab purchased Technikforum, the creator of CADvent® - the only software on the market that streamlines the entire duct design process into one integrated and automated solution and is offered free of charge to its users

Coming to America
In 1992, Lindab AB decided to expand into North America and opened its headquarters in Stamford, CT. At the time, the company was entering a mature market, which predominantly utilized rectangular ductwork. Seeing the opportunity to provide an innovative yet economical solution to the HVAC industry, the company began acquiring manufacturing plants and creating a network of Manufacturer Representatives across the United States and Canada.

The first plant opened in 1992 in Portsmouth, VA with six employees. Since then, that facility has grown dramatically and, along with Lindab's parent company in Sweden, now houses the world's largest inventory of duct system components. As word spread about SPIRO's product lines, the company expanded by opening plants in Memphis, TN; St. Petersburg, FL; Sibley, IL and Skokie, IL.

Our Network
When Lindab first opened its doors for business, it started out with just a handful of local Representatives in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. In nine short years, Lindab has grown this network to more than 60 Representatives across the U.S. and Canada. The company continues to branch out into new markets and expects to open offices on the West coast later this year.

We've Seen the Future - and It's Round
As we speak, Lindab's research centers for air, sound and design software technologies are hard at work developing quality products that provide a quieter, safer and cleaner environment that everyone can enjoy. However, the company recognizes that the industry also needs a duct system that is efficient and cost-effective. It is this customer-focused philosophy combined with an environmental responsibility that have been the driving forces behind the company's worldwide success, and is what motivates Lindab, its employees and its Representatives to declare that the future has arrived - and it's round.
