SWEDEN: Swedish HVAC company Systemair AB has acquired Temspec Inc, a leading Canadian HVAC equipment designer and manufacturer. 

Established in 1971 and based in Mississauga, Ontario, Temspec is seen as a leading designer and manufacturer of single zone HVAC equipment in the North American HVAC market for multi-storey buildings and school applications.
