American Air & Water becomes Nuvonic preferred partner in North America

American Air & Water has been named Nuvonic’s Preferred Partner for air and water UV disinfection across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The deal expands chemical-free sanitation tools for food processors and other hygiene-critical facilities that need cleaner air, surfaces and process water.

Why it matters: - The partnership gives food processors, packers and other hygiene-critical plants a single North American source for UV systems that treat air, product-contact surfaces, conveyor belts and process water without chemicals. - The companies are targeting food safety pressure points where contamination can affect product quality, worker safety and brand reputation. - Listeria and E. coli remain major risks in food manufacturing, making line-level disinfection more relevant for processing and packaging operations.

What happened: - American Air & Water announced it has been named Preferred Partner with Nuvonic for air and water UV disinfection in North America. - The coverage area includes the United States, Canada and Mexico. - The announcement was made from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, on Oct. 27, 2026. - Nuvonic’s Air & Surface division will now reach North American food-processing customers through American Air & Water.

The details: - Nuvonic is a Halma company focused on UV disinfection for water, surface and air. - Nuvonic’s Air & Surface division already works through 15 distributors in Europe and Asia. - American Air & Water has worked on UV air, surface and water disinfection since 1999. - The Preferred Partner arrangement pairs Nuvonic’s chemical-free UV platform with American Air & Water’s established experience in disinfection applications. - The partnership is aimed at conveyor systems, slicing and pack-off areas, high-risk rooms, and process water. - Conveyor applications include under-belt UV treatment for continuous microbial reduction on running belts. - Slicing and pack-off applications focus on direct surface disinfection at high-risk product-contact points. - High-risk rooms will use overhead and in-duct air treatment to reduce airborne pathogens and mold spores. - Process water applications will use liquid UV disinfection for chemical-free microbial control in process streams. - American Air & Water will supply Air & Surface UV systems to plants that need cleaner lines between sanitation cycles.

Between the lines: - Nuvonic is extending a distribution model that already works in Europe and Asia into North America. - The partnership suggests both companies see food and beverage manufacturing as the strongest near-term market, especially meat processing and packaging. - Warren Lynn, founder and president of American Air & Water, said the company sees the technology as a strong fit for food and beverage operations, especially where missed sanitation points can create broader problems. - Alexander Hermanns, general manager of Air & Surface at Nuvonic, said American Air & Water’s customer relationships and disinfection experience make it a strategic fit for the U.S., Canadian and Mexican markets.

What's next: - American Air & Water will work as Nuvonic’s North American Preferred Partner for sales and deployment. - The companies are positioning the agreement to speed installation of UV systems in processing and packaging environments. - The partnership is expected to expand access to chemical-free disinfection tools for food and beverage plants across the region.

The bottom line: - Nuvonic gains a North American route into food-processing plants. American Air & Water gains a broader UV portfolio to push into sanitation-critical facilities.
