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 pharmacy. From these humble beginnings, a truly great Australian icon has grown, but their original values of integrity and quality remain true to this day.

When Bickford’s set out to expand their operations with a new facility in Adelaide, 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.
To deliver on Bickford’s performance goals, we supplied the Airocle 1 Series vents—our ultra-low-profile natural ventilators purpose-built for efficient, economical airflow in today’s industrial spaces. Designed for maximum reliability with minimal visual impact, the 1 Series helps maintain stable internal conditions, no matter the external environment.
Working closely with Ahrens and the Bickford’s team, we engineered a tailored ventilation solution that aligned perfectly with the building’s specifications and operational needs.
The result? A discreet yet powerful system that protects sensitive machinery from heat and moisture, and supports a more comfortable, productive workspace for employees.
