Pre and post sales product support will be co-ordinated by Fujitsu’s UK technical team based at the organisations UK head office in Elstree, with relevant product training courses to be announced shortly.

GI Holding was formed in 2000 and is now responsible for a wide range of equipment including chillers, air handling units, fan coils, rooftop units and close control equipment. In addition to Montair and Clint, brands include KTK Klimatechnik chillers and Novair air handling units and fan coils.
