A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKanion Co founding duo Ioannis Georgoulis and Ken Fung are on a mission to bring affordable, sustainable, technologically advanced air conditioning units to a home near you \u2013 without compromising comfort.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThink about that feeling of entering a cool building on a hot summer\u2019s day, or coming home to a warm house on a chilly winter evening. We need to thank people like Ioannis Georgoulis and Ken Fung for their single-minded passion for a product that offers such respite from the heat and the cold \u2013 the air conditioning unit.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAir conditioning is part of my life,\u201d Kanion Co Director Ken Fung tells The CEO Magazine. \u201cThe industry is one I\u2019ll never leave, it\u2019s the only job for me.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cFrom the beginning, we have focused on trying to make the latest technological advances in the industry accessible to everyone.\u201d

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKanion Co, the result of that meeting, isn\u2019t just another air conditioning manufacturer making the crowded home appliance space even more congested, however.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cIt\u2019s a road we could have gone down, but we have never focused on the easy profit,\u201d Georgoulis, Kanion Co-CEO, explains. \u201cInstead, from the beginning, we have focused on trying to make the latest technological advances in the industry accessible to everyone.\u201d\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Kanion vision is simple. When someone goes to buy a new air conditioning product and is faced with two choices, the technologically advanced choice and the wallet-friendly choice, the difference in price between the two is such small change that the buyer will automatically go for the former.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A VOICE TO BE HEARD\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo bring this pioneering vision to life, the duo needed to cast a wide net across the industry and partner with an expansive array of raw materials suppliers and assembly lines. Georgoulis admits that, at the start, when the business was little more than a laptop in a small office in Shenzhen, China, they often struggled to be taken seriously.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA decade on, and their voice is now more easily heard. \u201cThere are more people on board with what we say because they can see the impact it can have on the market,\u201d Fung says.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is, in part, because \u2018technologically advanced\u2019 is increasingly becoming synonymous with \u2018environmentally friendly\u2019.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAt the heart of the company is this idea that we can transform every home into a sustainable unit without compromising comfort,\u201d Georgoulis says.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne way the pair is achieving this is by pushing the technological limits of inverter home appliances \u2013 units that can regulate the speed of their compressor motors to the point that they consume the least energy imaginable.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKanion Co\u2019s inverter air conditioning units incorporate smart systems that know when to use cheap power, or the times of the day when power use is much less harmful to the environment. These smart units can, for example, produce hot water during the evening when energy costs less and the planet is cooler, and store it for domestic use later on.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe company is also leading the way in integrating solar technology into their products with a range of solar air conditioning units that allow homes to regulate their energy usage and waste, and diminish the reliance on grid power.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cWe will only try to supply and develop the products that are the most advanced in the industry,\u201d Georgoulis affirms.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIts portfolio of products complies with the most rigorous certifications in Europe and the United States, including the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control, the subsidy program of the German Government.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBefitting its visionary status, Kanion Co has also invested in a global awareness campaign on the correct use of home appliances. Its \u2018K-Climate Hub\u2019 initiative is set to launch in early 2024 and is designed to show people how to save energy and money through minimizing the most harmful practices of daily life.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI feel that, in this industry, we have an obligation to educate people about the products: about what an inverter is, what A+++ energy efficiency means, how to use an energy consumption management app and why it\u2019s so significant not only to our pocket, but also our most precious asset \u2013 the earth,\u201d Georgoulis says. \u201cWhat we do is so critical for the future.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s about making it the most environmentally friendly \u2013 and affordable \u2013 choice, particularly in regions such as Africa and Middle East, where demand is high but the market hasn\u2019t always provided a high quality yet reasonably priced option.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKanion Co\u2019s main premises are split between two locations: its headquarters in Shenzhen and in Hong Kong.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cIn Shenzhen, we are cultivating a culture that allows people to extend their talents to learn,\u201d Georgoulis says. \u201cWe offer constant and unstoppable education on every level so that people can understand that there is a lot of space to develop inside the company.\u201d\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
