Electro-Breeze’s products will be rebranded under Fresh-Aire UV or carry the new “Electro-Breeze by Fresh-Aire UV” brand, and be marketed globally. Electro-Breeze President and Founder, Pierre Audet has joined the Fresh-Aire UV team and will oversee the transition and Electro-Breeze’s equipment manufacturing operations
