We are Dimplex
Dimplex is proud of its role as a formative brand of the Glen Dimplex Group bringing comfort to people’s lives since the 1940s. The brand’s acquisition journey began during the 1950s and 1960s when Dimplex acquired Glen to form Glen Dimplex, marking the brand’s re-birth.
In the early 1990s, the Group entered a new phase of growth through acquisition. Since then, Dimplex has become a global leader in electric comfort solutions. In a new phase of business, the Dimplex brand will now be used to endorse their acquired brands to lead the market. This begins with the company’s Ability, Smarter DM and Xpelair brands being the first to adopt a new “by Dimplex” endorsement.
Ability is a UK leading manufacturer supplier of Fan Coil Unit (FCU) technology. Their early implementation of EC motor technology helped to increase industry focus on energy efficiency and to dramatically reduce energy consumption and the associated carbon footprint of FCU technology. Ability was acquired by GDHV in 2016 because of their aligned values in innovation and environmental focus and our continued partnership has aided the production of more efficient and effective HVAC solutions.
Smarter DM is a data solution company that collects, aggregates, and integrates data from systems and equipment. Acquired by GDHV again due to their efforts and commitment to energy and carbon conservation, Smarter DM is used to provide smart panel heating and air conditioning controls to the hotel and student accommodation sectors. This enables centralised control and monitoring of these solutions to mitigate excess energy consumption .
Case Study: Travelodge Hotels Ltd and SmarterDM by Dimplex
Xpelair is a ventilation company established in 1968 and remains at the forefront of the industry. Their range supports projects of all sizes in the homes and commercial projects, with their ease of installation, reliability, and quality of products making them the specifier's choice. Their acquisition by Dimplex has led to the strengthening of their stance in the international market thanks to Xpelair’s monitoring and ensuring their products meet current regulations regardless of location.
With the brands now endorsed, we aim to build a cohesive online presence hosting products and services alongside each other. We look forward to providing our valued partners and customers with a holistic range of heating and ventilation solutions, all in one place.
