Founded in 2014 by Oliver Schmitz and headquartered in Mönchengladbach, Germany, getAir is a leading provider of decentralised residential heat recovery ventilation systems to a wide range of primarily German and European OEM customers.

It will be reported as part of Volution's Continental Europe region, and the leadership team will remain with the business post the acquisition.
Consideration for the acquisition on a cash and debt free basis is €40 million (approximately £34 million) on completion, funded from Volution's existing debt facilities. getAir revenue for the twelve months ending 30 June 2026 (unaudited) was €13.9 million with adjusted EBITDA of c.€4.0 million. The acquisition will be immediately earnings accretive and provides additional inorganic revenue momentum for our new financial year.
