Multistack, LLC, a privately held Sparta, Wisc.-based manufacturer of chiller systems and heat pumps, has acquired Desert Aire Corp., a Germantown, Wisc.-based manufacturer of commercial and industrial humidity and climate control systems. Sources say Multistack's acquisition of Desert Aire bolsters the company's commitment to provide the HVAC industry with high-efficiency, low-impact solutions for a diverse set of building applications.

Executive teams of the two companies will remain intact.

"We are thrilled to have Desert Aire join us as we design and produce the most energy efficient and advanced systems in the HVAC industry. With both companies having industry-leading reputations as well as cultures that emphasize quality and customer support, this is a natural combination," said Charles Kenyon, CEO of Multistack.


Keith Coursin, president of Desert Aire, said, "Multistack's leadership and capabilities bring additional resources that will help us with our growth plans. We feel by joining together we will each become a better company."
