Company Profile

Air.... Plus a whole lot more

Air Plus is part of the AC Components Group, one of Australia’s leading supplier of air-conditioning and componentry products.
Air Plus was founded in 1994 in Hallam. The business grew rapidly based on providing high levels of customer service and being a one stop shop for air-conditioning products.

In 2007 Air Plus acquired Air Supply, a componentry business operating out of Boronia and Mount Waverley for over 20 years. Soon after, Air Plus opened a branch in Laverton to support its customers in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

The Air Plus business continued to grow to become the second largest supplier or air-conditioning products in Victoria.

In 2009 Metalflex purchased Air Plus. The largest and second largest air-conditioning products companies in Victoria combined forces to become the clear market leader in Victoria with superior resources.  As a result, today the combined businesses offer the broadest range of componentry products and a wide selection of unit air-conditioning brands under the one roof.

A.C. Components was created as the parent company for Metalflex and Air Plus to follow the future strategy of growth. Today AC Components has 15 branches nationally:

  • 10 in Victoria
  • 1 in New South Wales
  • 1 in Canberra
  • 2 in South Australia 
  • 1 in Western Australia

In December 2010, the AC Components Group was acquired by Actrol Parts which in turn is managed by Catalyst Investment Managers, a leading Australasian Private Equity firm.  Although part of the larger Actrol Group of companies, AC Components today is run independently of the Actrol Parts business with a future strategy of:

  • Growth through acquisition
  • Branch expansion 
  • Continual new product innovation and development 
  • Streamlining branch operational efficiencies and customer service levels through the use of technology 
  • Continual staff training and development

In October 2011, AC Components acquired the Metalflex South Australia and Metalflex Western Australia business operations, continuing its national expansion
