Darren Finley, Head of Vaillant's Applied Systems Division, explains: '2006 was very much about raising awareness of Vaillant's entry into the air conditioning market. The initial range was well received by our customers, who were impressed with the quality of the product and very welcoming of Vaillant's innovative commitment to after sales warranty and pre-sales technical support. We are now looking to build on this success with this launch of additional products.'
