Founded by Ted and Anne Celi in 1972, Climate Technologies has grown to be Australia’s largest manufacturer of heating and cooling appliances with highly regarded brands Bonaire, Celair and Pyrox.

Climate Technologies forms part of the Celi Group of companies. Other companies which make up the Group include Gas ‘n’ Cool & Climate House, (a chain of retail air conditioning stores), Malmet Australia (specialised hospital equipment), Rialec (property development and investment), Celicraft (metal fabrication) and Celijet Aviation Solutions (private jet charter).

The Group remains a family owned and operated business with Ted Celi as Managing Director. Employing more than 300 hundred people and (many more indirectly), the group continues along a path of growth and expansion.

To fund their business, the Celi's sold their 1967 Falcon. Some 25 years later, they purchased it back again and restored it.
