Pinnacle Climate Technologies launches Defender by Schaefer

We have exciting news to share that will have a significant impact on our years ahead: Pinnacle Climate Technologies is acquiring the assets of Pura Air Purification, Inc., a leading manufacturer of indoor air quality solutions.

The COVID 19 virus has made the importance of safe and clean indoor air a global priority. As we all know, improving indoor air quality is one of the most effective ways to address airborne health risks present in buildings today, including COVID 19. Acquiring the assets of Pura Air allows us to expand our products and expertise into the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) market and deliver solutions that make indoor air safer for everyone.

Pura Air has been focused on developing, manufacturing, and distributing both fixed and standalone medical-grade air purifiers to remediate and protect against infectious and non-infectious airborne particulates. The technology is designed to integrate seamlessly into an interior space, increase the air exchanges per hour without modifications to the existing HVAC system, and remove and sterilize 99.99% of viruses such as COVID-19, hepatitis A, influenza, and rotavirus.

Our purpose is to engineer solutions that use science-based, proven applications to eliminate risks in the air we breathe at home, and in schools, offices, and other building environments. Our 70+ year strategy to design and deliver innovative climate technology solutions for residential and commercial spaces continues and strengthens with this acquisition. Pura Air products will be rebranded as part of the Schaefer portfolio and be assembled in the USA at the Sauk Rapids facility.

We’re excited about this next chapter and the growth and opportunity it brings for all of us. Thanks for your business and continued partnership.
