Brewing Success: Ensuring Bickford’s Beverage Quality

About Bickford’s

Bickford’s is one of Australia’s oldest and most treasured brands. Founded over 175 years ago, they remain an Australian family-owned and managed business, with their head office and operations centre based in Adelaide.

Their proud history of premium cordials and other refreshing beverages began in 1839 in a small apothecary shop. From these humble beginnings, a truly great Australian icon has grown, but their original values of integrity and quality remain true to this day. Australian Beverages

The Challenge

When Bickford’s set out to expand their operations with a new facility, they knew ventilation wasn’t something to overlook. For a space housing both people and precision machinery, getting airflow right wasn’t just about comfort—it was about protecting their long-term investment.

Poor ventilation can lead to heat build-up and humidity, which silently take a toll on expensive equipment and building materials over time.

Bickford’s goal was clear: create a productive, well-ventilated workspace that supports both day-to-day operations and the future of their business.

The Solution

To meet that goal, we supplied the Airocle 1 Series vents—our ultra-low-profile, natural ventilator designed specifically for reliable, economical airflow in modern industrial buildings. It’s built to keep internal conditions stable, no matter what’s happening outside.

Working closely with Ahrens and the Bickford’s team, we delivered a custom ventilation solution that matched their exact building specs and performance needs.

The result? A streamlined, unobtrusive system that protects the building and machinery from heat and moisture, while also supporting a more comfortable environment for their people.
