The announcement was made during the Enterprise Ireland trade mission to South Africa led by Ireland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan T.D.
By entering the African market in partnership with Voltas Technologies and extending the established SUNWIND range, AuBren DAQS is confident that it will be able to deploy its solutions across 200 to 300 medical infrastructure sites in the region, representing a value of between €3 million to €5 million during the next four years.

AuBren DAQS is dedicated to the design and manufacture of energy efficient precision air quality systems, thermal management systems, indoor air quality and environmental solutions for use in healthcare, IT and telecom applications.

Its range of medical air handling units are said to occupy 30% or less of the floor space of some competitor products. 

As a result of the partnership with Voltas Technologies, AuBren expects to increase international staff members by about 50%, with some of those based permanently in tAfrica. The company also has international outlets in Paris, Toronto and Dubai.

Welcoming the agreement Minister Flanagan said: “AuBren has built up a reputation for excellence in innovative medical technologies from its base in Portlaoise, Ireland. This agreement with Voltas Technologies will facilitate access for AuBren to a fast growing region with an excellent local partner, and is good for the growth of jobs both in Ireland and South Africa.  This very positive development confirms the significance of opportunities for ambitious Irish companies wishing to do business in this growing market.”
