Total Air Limited: Fast-tracked Import of a Refurbished Spot Welder for Malta's HVAC Market

Needed a refurbished resistance spot welder for duct manufacturing, imported to Malta quickly and without disruption.

Spot Welding HVAC Manufacturing International

Total Air Limited, the manufacturing arm of Air System International Ltd (ASIL), makes the sheet metal work behind HVAC systems used across Malta's shopping centres, hospitality developments, and residential and commercial projects. When they needed a replacement resistance spot welder (fast, refurbished, and shipped internationally), Westermans delivered on all three.

The customer

Total Air Limited is the manufacturing arm of Air System International Ltd (ASIL), specialising in sheet metal work for industrial-grade HVAC systems. Manufacturing their own sheet metal gives the company full control over product quality and lets them tailor ducting to each client's needs.

Leading Maltese businesses use ASIL's HVAC systems across shopping centres, residential developments, hospitality and leisure complexes, and large-scale car parks; sectors where corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in ducting are essential.

The challenge

Fast sourcing: Total Air needed a resistance spot welder quickly for flange-to-sheet-metal welding in duct manufacturing
Import to Malta: the machine had to be sourced from the UK and shipped internationally with minimal delay
Refurbished, not new: price and service mattered more than buying new; a well-refurbished machine was the priority
Right specification: the target machine was a Model PBP126 – 25KVA Air Operated Resistance Spot Welding Machine, suited to duct flange welding

Westermans recommendation

"The PBP126 25KVA was the right match for what Total Air needed: enough power to handle flange welding on ducting-grade sheet metal reliably, without the cost or lead time of buying new. Refurbished to a high standard, it gave them a production-ready machine from day one."

— Craig Westerman, Sales Director, Westermans International

The outcome

"Importing the machinery was very simple and straightforward. After selecting the machinery required, we effected payment and subsequently made the required arrangements for the collection of the machinery from Westermans. Their staff was very helpful, and the importation arrived in a very short period of time. We were very happy with the service."

— Louise Vella, Total Air Limited

Fast turnaround With no delays in getting the machine sourced, paid for, and collection arranged

Quick international shipping The import to Malta completed in "a very short period of time"

Simple A straightforward process end-to-end, from machine selection through to delivery

Feedback Total Air left "very happy with the service," citing helpful staff throughout

Why this setup worked

The refurbished PBP126 gave Total Air a cost-effective way to keep flange welding in-house, without compromising on the quality control that underpins ASIL's HVAC products. A straightforward import process meant no disruption to their production timeline.
