Big news for the HVACR industry! Madison Air Solutions has officially announced a massive global deal to buy German fan and motor powerhouse ebm-papst for $US5.4 billion. The deal is set to wrap up by the end of 2026.

Two Massive Names, One Team

If you work in the trade, you already know ebm-papst. They've been a go-to name for high-quality, energy-efficient EC fans and motors since 1963. Their gear is used everywhere, from everyday commercial air conditioning to massive data centre cooling setups.

Now, they are joining the Madison Air family—the same group behind major names like Big Ass Fans, Reznor, and Nortek Air Solutions.

What This Means for You

The short answer? It’s business as usual. You will still get the exact same reliable, top-tier products you count on for your everyday jobs. Here is what to expect moving forward:

• No disruption: ebm-papst will keep running independently from its headquarters in Germany, keeping its local teams and operations intact.

• Better tech: Combining ebm-papst's motor technology with Madison Air's resources means we will see next-generation, energy-efficient solutions hit the market even faster.

• Long-term reliability: This backing ensures great product support and availability for years to come.

National AC Parts is committed to keeping your business moving with the best gear on the market. We’re excited to see the new airflow innovations this buyout brings to Australia.
