Close Comfort is a multinational in its infancy. We started in 2007 in Perth, Western Australia, home city of the inventor, Professor James Trevelyan. Perth is our hub for ongoing research and development, seeking greater affordability, less power consumption and high standards of quality control for supervised manufacture in China. Seven years of research and development have gone into the first product, the PC8 model air conditioner. We had to understand human physiology, behaviour and subtle aspects of thermodynamics. We built over 60 prototypes to test the technology in all kinds of conditions. The primary commercial hub of the company is Close Comfort International Private Limited in Singapore. We have already launched our product in Pakistan this year.
