History

In 1984, Pierre Jardinier, a former engineer in the CSTB (French Building Research Institute) was in charge of the air quality research laboratory SERVA. With two partners, he decided to design the first humidity sensitive extract grille that will ultimately lead to the development of Aereco* as a company, from just a small basic workshop to a 5,000 m² facility currently producing a million units sales.

* Aereco stands for "AERation ECOnomique" (economical ventilation).

Thanks to their commitment in the quality of their invention, these pioneers finally achieve great success. Humidity sensitive ventilation becomes more and more popular and is eventually recognised by the French Energy Performance in Buildings regulation in 2000 and 2005, by the EDF energy-saving Vivrelec label and by other regulations and marketing tools.

New products, new offices, the major milestones of the company are listed on this page.
