Seeley International has been announced as winner of ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION in the prestigious BRW MOMENTUM MID-MARKET AWARDS 2013, as well as being a finalist in the Best Mid-market Leader and Mid-market Business categories.
Founder and Executive Chairman, Mr Frank Seeley AM said that the win is a further testament to Seeley International’s ongoing commitment to developing heating and cooling products that are at the forefront of reducing impact on the environment.
“Seeley International has developed a culture that allows creative minds to challenge conventional thinking and all of our global-leading innovations come from staff who, at all levels, have the freedom and confidence to share their ideas and contribute to our many exciting projects,” Mr Seeley said.
“Underpinning our ‘can-do’ culture has been our strong commitment to the environment, which is why, in 2012, we were the first in the world to produce a 6 star ducted gas heating range, following it up in April this year, with the incredible Braemar “Super-Six” heater – the most energy-efficient conventional ducted gas heater in the world,” he said.
“Our Braemar “Super-Six” heater is an environmental triumph and a major breakthrough for the industry because it significantly reduces energy usage even further, thus reducing the impact on the environment,” he said.
“We know that consumers are increasingly savvy when it comes to reducing their environmental footprint, and we have responded to their requirements, by developing products that deliver what they’re looking for in terms of significant savings on running costs and CO2 emissions, without in any way compromising on performance,” he said.
“Today, our Breezair cooling system is the most energy efficient evaporative cooler in the world, and by using natural evaporation to cool the air, it can cool an entire home from the cost of running a single light globe!”
Seeley International’s Climate Wizard is yet another revolutionary product that contributed to winning this prestigious award. It is a high-performance indirect evaporative air conditioner that uses the natural cooling power of evaporation to dramatically reduce air temperature (by up to 43°C!!), without adding any moisture to the delivered air.
“Climate Wizard does not use any synthetic refrigerants, but rather the most environmentally friendly refrigerant in the world, which is water, and although this is a renewable resource, Climate Wizard uses it very sparingly,” Mr Seeley said.
“Winning BRW’s Environmental Innovation Award is an achievement in which the entire Seeley International team has been vitally involved, and evidences the company’s constant commitment to setting new benchmarks and pushing the boundaries, way beyond,” says Mr Seeley.
Seeley International has also been announced as a finalist in the upcoming Banksia Awards for Energy Efficiency and Carbon Management with Climate Wizard. This amazing product has previously won the 2013 World Ag Expo Top 10 New Products Competition, the 2010 Product Excellence Award at the ARBS (Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Building Services) Industry Awards, the Greenplumbers “Energy Efficient product of the year” in October 2009 and was winner in the 2011 Australian International Design Awards.
This latest award win adds to an outstanding record of accolades for this Australian manufacturer – awards that have included Seeley International founder and Executive Chairman, Mr Frank Seeley AM announced as the 2013 Ernst & Young Champion of Entrepreneurship, and Climate Wizard winning the Innovation category for The Australian Business Awards 2013.
