Dunair was originally established in January 1978 as an automotive air-conditioning company. Dunair's focus has always been on producing quality products for its customers.

Dunair soon developed its reputation as a premium, quality brand and as such has been the market leader for aftermarket automotive air-conditioners in South Africa for many years.

In 1986 Dunair was incorporated into Smiths Manufacturing and became a separate division within the company, but retained its autonomy design in terms of manufacturing and marketing its own range of products.

Dunair is a recognised brand name, known throughout South Africa, which is testimony to the fact that Dunair does produce "superior car air-conditioning".

Dunair has long established relationships with the South African Motor Plants and motor plant product approval has been awarded for almost every Dunair air-conditioning kit. Dunair products have applications for Ford, Nissan, VW, Toyota and General Motors vehicles; amongst others.Through such relationships, Dunair has been able to gain a better understanding of the industry's expectations of vehicle air-conditioning products and aftermarket accessories.
