Bry-Air, a global pioneer in dehumidification and environmental control solutions, celebrates its 60th anniversary, reflecting six decades of continuous innovation, technological growth, and commitment to sustainability. As part of the Pahwa Group, Bry-Air’s cutting-edge, energy-efficient products have a significant global impact, improving lives every day.
Founded in 1964 by Art Harms in the USA as an offshoot of Bryant, a division of Carrier Corporation, Bry-Air initially focused on manufacturing desiccant-based dehumidifiers. Today, it is a leader in adsorption-based technologies with a strong global presence.
Energy efficiency and sustainability are at the core of Bry-Air’s values. The company has continuously pushed the boundaries of material science and technology to deliver cutting-edge solutions. In October 2024 alone, Bry-Air filed seven patents for emerging technologies. The company is expanding into new areas such as Carbon Capture, NMP Recovery, and Air-to-Water Generators for Green Hydrogen—innovative technologies that address the urgent challenges of climate change.
In the dehumidification sector, Bry-Air is setting new standards in energy efficiency. By achieving rotor regeneration temperatures of 80°C, Bry-Air has drastically reduced the operating costs of dehumidifiers. Its Low Dew Point Dehumidifiers are setting a new benchmark for the global manufacturing of Lithium-ion Cells.
Bry-Air’s technology, both current and future, is designed to deliver optimal performance while minimizing energy consumption, making it the most sustainable and energy-efficient choice. Through Carbon Capture, Bry-Air aims to actively reduce atmospheric carbon, and with Air-to-Water Generation, the company will provide sustainable water solutions in water-scarce regions and contribute to the Green Hydrogen movement.
The company’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond product development, incorporating eco-friendly practices into its manufacturing and corporate operations. Bry-Air’s continuous innovation ensures that industries worldwide benefit from energy-efficient solutions that enhance operational efficiency and preserve natural resources.
