Metronic Air Plus remote control

The Metronic Air Plus is a universal remote control designed specifically for air conditioning units. The brand Metronic originated in France, founded by Yves Bouget in 1987 in Tarifigny. Initially focused on television and audio accessories, the company expanded rapidly across Europe, introducing innovative products such as satellite kits and TNT decoders.

In terms of manufacturing, while the company is headquartered in France, its consumer electronic products, including universal remotes like the Air Plus, are typically manufactured in various locations, primarily in Asia, to serve the global market. In 2021, Metronic SAS was acquired by Bigben Interactive, a prominent French group specializing in video games and mobile accessories. Today, Metronic continues to operate as a subsidiary of Bigben Interactive, maintaining its focus on home electronics and connectivity solutions.
