UK: Surrey-based Humidity Solutions has received two major awards from North American supplier Neptronic.

The award for Best Sales in the European market and Prestigious Project were announced at the 2018 AHR Expo in Chicago last month.

The Prestigious Project award related to the supply and installation of 18 SKG gas-fired humidifiers for four paint spray booths for the Ministry of Defence.

Humidity Solutions sales director John Barker commented: “As the UK’s only independent specialist in humidity control, Humidity Solutions works closely with a number of key suppliers, each of which has particular strengths. This helps us to ensure we can offer our customers the best solution from a range of options.”

“The great strength of Humidity Solutions is their understanding of customers’ needs and the ability to design the best solution. This gives us the confidence that our products are being applied to optimum effect and are adding value for the end customer,” said Neptronic president Zev Kopel.

The AHR Expo also provided a preview of the new Neptronic SKE4 evaporative humidifier which will be launched in the UK later this year.
