With origins dating back to 1999 and 2001, respectively, Fabtech has established itself as an expert in cleanroom panel systems and equipment, while Kelvin has become a trusted system integrator for HVAC systems.
With the evolving demand across pharmaceuticals, non-pharma sectors, data centers, and international projects, the need for a meaningful partnership to address the growing industry requirements became evident.
This is when the two pioneers in the field of cleanroom systems – Fabtech and Kelvin, officially joined hands in a strategic collaboration that promises to redefine industry standards in integrated solutions.
The partnership was unveiled at one of the biggest pharma expos, PMEC CPHI in Noida, on 26th November 2024, marking the beginning of a transformative journey chapter in delivering comprehensive, consolidated solutions.
“We realized that Kelvin was the perfect fit with Fabtech for a one-stop-shop experience”, Anup Munshi, Managing Director, FTCL.
“Our meeting with Fabtech was a turning point as our vision aligned, and our thought processes were in perfect sync”, Raveendra Shetty, Managing Director, Kelvin
This collaboration aspires to combine expertise by offering clients a unified experience across diverse industries while raising the bar for excellence.
Here’s what the Fabtech-Kelvin alliance promises
1. Integrated Expertise
The partnership brings specialized expertise in contamination control, ensuring HVAC designs are optimized for critical parameters like temperature, humidity, air change rates, pressure differentials, and filtration levels.
These are tailored to meet the cleanroom’s specific operational requirements while adhering to stringent cleanliness standards (ISO Class 5, 7, or 8). This collaboration minimizes design complexities, enhancing overall performance and reliability in critical environments.
2. A Seamless Solution
Projects requiring cleanroom and HVAC systems demand clients to act as intermediaries and coordinate with multiple vendors. This often results in delays and misalignment. The Fabtech-Kelvin partnership eliminates these challenges by offering a one-stop solution where cleanrooms and HVAC systems are designed and executed together.
This includes key aspects of the project, such as lighting installation, HEPA terminal box placement, and electrical configurations working in sync. Therefore, leveraging a single ownership model enables streamlined workflows, reduces project complexities, and ensures efficient management.
From design to validation, every step is seamlessly integrated, allowing clients to focus on their core operations while leaving the technical intricacies to a trusted partner.
3. Time-Saving and Reduced Delays
By consolidating cleanroom and HVAC execution under one partnership, the time spent on multiple coordination gets significantly reduced. Electrical fittings, panel placement, HVAC locations, and risers are planned cohesively, thus minimizing overlaps and delays. This approach ensures faster project completion, lower costs, and facilities delivered on time and within budget.
4. Enhanced Adaptability for Dynamic Industries
The pharmaceutical industry is dynamic, with constant changes in production lines and processes. A change in one element, such as a room data sheet or riser, often necessitates adjustments to others.
These adjustments require coordination, which can be challenging with multiple partners. The Fabtech-Kelvin alliance, with its unified approach, simplifies project execution.
Adjustments to parameters like temperature, pressure differentials, or system validations are well managed, ensuring compliance with stringent guidelines like US FDA 21 CFR while maintaining a professional and visually appealing cleanroom infrastructure.
5. Cost Efficiency
Having multiple partners increases the need for separate manpower, safety officers, and engineers for cleanroom and HVAC systems, resulting in more overhead costs and detailed project management.
This collaboration optimizes resources and reduces execution costs. A single nodal officer oversees the entire project, ensuring a holistic understanding of the facility’s needs.
6. Streamlined Delivery
Mismatched timelines between HVAC designers and panel manufacturers can lead to inefficiencies. Let’s say, panels arrive on-site, even before ducting is ready. This will leave material idle, creating discrepancies and logistic challenges. The Fabtech-Kelvin partnership resolves this by implementing a step-by-step, synchronized delivery process.
Each phase is meticulously planned to ensure seamless execution, resulting in timely project completion and optimal use of resources.
7. Planned Investments for Clients
Multiple partners often mean varied costs and unpredictable expenses. This requires clients to arrange funds at different stages. The Fabtech-Kelvin collaboration simplifies financial planning by consolidating costs, allowing clients to make phased investments without overextending budgets.
8. Looking Ahead
Built on innovation, dedication, and a customer-centric approach, the FABTECH-KELVIN partnership shares a common vision of delivering innovative, high-quality, integrated solutions for cleanrooms.
Spanning industries such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, automotive, aviation, hospitality, government, and education, the alliance promises to set new benchmarks in cleanroom excellence.
