About us
We think outside the box!
IV Produkt is a privately owned company based in Växjö in the Swedish county of Småland that develops and manufactures innovative solutions for air handling. We have been doing this since 1969. Today, we are a market leader in the Nordic region in the development and production of air handling units. This position was achieved by having the highest rate of development in our industry.

We offer high-quality, innovative products that enable energy recovery and a good indoor climate. This has been our philosophy for many years and has delivered strong results, with average growth of 12 % over the last ten years.
Our focus on life cycle cost (LCC) runs through the entire organisation – from product development to sales. It is a natural part of our development work. The goal is clear: our products should give you, our customer, the lowest total cost for purchase, operation and maintenance. Optimised life cycle costs also increase property value. Ultimately, it is about protecting the environment and the Earth’s resources together.
With our complete product range and the long experience we have built up, we can find air handling solutions that meet most needs. We are happy to share our knowledge and we strive to make it easy and reassuring for you as a customer to choose IV Produkt as your supplier.
IV Produkt develops, manufactures and sells environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient air handling units.
Our business concept since 1970
Long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers are important to us. They allow us to raise our standards even further when developing new products and manufacturing methods. Our air handling units are tested and certified by Eurovent Certification, which provides reassurance for our customers. An integral part of our quality and environmental work is that we are certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
This long-term approach is also clearly reflected in our investments. We have made significant investments in premises for our development laboratory, production, offices and a training centre. To streamline and increase capacity, we have installed the latest technology in production machinery.
At IV Produkt, we contribute to something for which we all share great responsibility – conserving the Earth’s resources. This means that we work in a future-oriented industry and we have an important mission.
A reliable partner
We have delivered over 65,000 projects in 20 different countries. Our long experience has given us a unique knowledge of the industry requirements. IV Produkt is a complete and reliable supplier that supports you throughout the entire process.

Sustainability
Environment & Quality
Environmental issues are high on the agenda. Companies, organisations, government agencies and individuals are putting increasing emphasis on environmental aspects in their business relationships. We think this is good. At IV Produkt we are working long term on building a sustainable business that creates value for our customers. Through our products, our focus on life cycle costs (LCC) and the way we act, we are contributing to a more sustainable world, where we can conserve the Earth’s resources. In support of our work, we have quality assured operations in accordance with ISO 9001 and have introduced an environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001.
Our environmental policy in brief
- At IV Produkt we aim to minimise the burden on the environment and on people’s health. The products we manufacture should contribute to a sustainable ecological development.
- We work actively with environmental issues in all parts of the business, for example, through information and education. Suggestions for improvement should be encouraged.
- We must reduce the destruction of the environment, through measures that include increasing the utilisation ratio of raw materials and energy and reducing the amount of waste.
- Our work on environment and health must exceed what is specified in legislation, rules, permits and conditions. This will be done by regularly reviewing our activities from an environmental protection point of view and suggesting improvements in processes, products, material selection, organisation and procedures.
- When making decisions on investments, new construction and renovations or other changes, we consider environmental and health issues, risks and consequences.
- We will take care of all environmental matters quickly. Interested parties will be informed and we will promote an open dialogue and keep knowledge about environmental protection easily accessible.
- We will strive to constantly develop our products in order to minimise impact on the environment and health, throughout their full life cycle.
What we can affect
The basis for our environmental work is that each department identifies different environmental aspects. Management then uses this as a basis for determining the environmental aspects to be included in our environmental management program. Environmental aspects are taken into consideration continuously and always in connection with construction, development and purchasing of products and components.
Training and follow-up
Our environmental management system is kept alive in connection with management reviews. To further ensure our environmental work we conduct continuous training in environmental issues. Training courses are adapted to our different work areas in order to achieve the optimum effect.
Priority areas
IV Produkt has identified five key areas in which we can control our environmental impact:
- Energy recycling
- Chemicals
- Use of raw materials
- System for sorting waste types at source
- Freight transport
Quality in all stages
The concept of quality permeates all work at IV Produkt. We want to be associated with quality in relation to our manufacturing, marketing, and customer service. By being clear in our quotations, we create security and confidence. We go through technical and economic specifications with the customer in order to avoid misunderstandings. If there are requests for special adaptations we add specialist skills. When an order is received, it is checked and any deviation is approved and signed by the Engineering Department. When everything is ready, the customer will receive an order confirmation in which IV Produkt reports that we can carry out the order according to the customer’s requirements.
Our goal is to always build in quality when we develop new products. We prioritise technical solutions where we can verify the reliability and monitor product safety and environmental aspects continuously during construction work. By focusing on the lifetime cost, we create sustainable value for the customer while also conserving the Earth’s resources.
The way we are
At IV Produkt, we have decided to make a difference for our customers and for the environment. Our values determine the way we interact with each other, our customers and suppliers and the community.
We dare to think in new ways and always strive to improve our products and processes. By finding our own unique solutions we lead instead of following the evolution.
