HUNTAIR ARABIA Wins $83M Contract in Saudi Arabia

Huntair Arabia, in a very tight bid competition, was awarded the full Air
Handling contact in November, 2008 for the King Abdullah University
of Science and Technology, (KAUST) beating out all USA, Canadian,
Middle East and European manufactures. The $83 million dollar
contract is touted as the single largest air handling and cleanroom
contract ever given to a sole air handling manufacturer for a project.
The order was originally planned to be split between 3 to 5 manufacturers
to support the volume, condensed delivery timeframe, and to
minimize risk to the KAUST owners.
