Refrigeration and air conditioning wholesaler Dean & Wood has taken over the business of Hampshire-based heat exchanger and dry air cooler supplier tt-coil limited.

Both companies are part of the Swedish Beijer Ref Group, which is Northern Europe’s largest manufacturer and distributor of components for the commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning markets. It is also the biggest wholesaler in the Nordic countries.

Beijer Ref announced that Dean & Wood would now be responsible for supplying AIA dry cooler units and air cooled condensers, plus new and replacement coils and spare parts for tt-coil products.

“We have been working on the merger for nearly a year as this is a natural progression that fits comfortably with our core business,” said Dean & Wood Business Development Manager John Smith. “Dry air coolers are a new area for us, but many of our existing customers also operate in this market so we will now be able to offer them a more complete package.

The group announced that tt-coil in Denmark would continue to deal direct with UK customers for design and supply of specialist heat exchangers.
