FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HVAC/R International and manufacturing /distribution company to sign joint venture agreement May 19, open a new facility later in 2015
Miami, FL – May 12, 2015 – Dunham–Bush Bhd, a global leader in the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration industry headquartered in Malaysia, has announced plans to significantly expand U.S. operations by partnering with HVAC/R International, master distributor for Dunham-Bush products for the Western Hemisphere located in Miami. The agreement will be signed and terms will be disclosed during a special ceremony at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at the Ritz Carlton South Beach (1 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139). Several local and state representatives are expected to be present for the signing. The event is open to the media and representatives from the company will be available for interviews.
“Dunham-Bush USA is excited to be able to announce this new initiative that will create 45-50 new manufacturing jobs for Floridians at the onset, and grow to 200 over a period of time,” says David Hogan, President of Cool Vent & HVAC/R International, Inc. “We truly believe that South Florida is the gateway between North and South Americas and with all of the PortMiami improvements and railway enhancements, this will make exporting our products much more feasible for the new company.”
Post-9/11 fears and the 2008 economic downturn helped continue the trend of outsourcing U.S. manufacturing jobs to foreign companies and territories. The new Dunham-Bush USA seeks to reverse this trend and use the many incentives provided by the State of Florida to enhance and build upon its century-plus history of providing highly specialized and high-performance cooling solutions. Their focus is primarily schools, hospitals, airports, factories and residences in the United States, the Asia-Pacific Region, the Middle East, Canada, Mexico, Central and South Americas, and Europe.

ABOUT DUNHAM-BUSH
Dunham-Bush has long been committed to offering creative solutions for their customers’ needs during its 100+ year history in the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) industry. Corporate headquarters are located in Kajang, Malaysia, with offices and operations around the globe. The group’s operations in Malaysia principally involve the manufacture, distribution and sale of a complete range of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment and associated products.
Combining technical expertise, integration and resource allocation, the C.A. Dunham Company (Est. 1894) and Bush Manufacturing Company (Est. 1906) merged into a new company in the 1950s to engage in the research development and production of high-standard products.
As they evolved into a new company, Dunham-Bush’s technical integration, resource allocation, research, development and production of high standards established Dunham-Bush’s reputation as an industry pioneer. The United States’ early Dunham Company created and introduced flooding technology for its commercial flooded condenser tubes. This triggered a series of engineering innovations.
In the 1930s, Bush Manufacturing Company was the pioneer in manufacturing air-conditioning unit by using direct expansion evaporator, air-cooled condenser and evaporative condenser. The 1950s introduced water-cooled chillers into such application sectors as commerce and industry. The revolutionary rotary screw compressor technology developed in the 1960s.
