History of Halifax Fan

Established in 1965 to serve local industry, Halifax Fan Group now supplies virtually all industries and applications throughout the world from its manufacturing sites in England, two in China and the USA.

An ongoing programme of investment ensures that Halifax Fan maintains its position as a leader in its field through the installation of sophisticated CAD/CAM systems and the most technologically advanced manufacturing equipment.

Halifax Fan also invests heavily in the training and development of its staff and a planned apprentice training scheme ensures not only a constant supply of highly skilled production staff but also a strong and very experienced engineering and management team. Many of today’s senior personnel originally joined the company as apprentices or in other junior positions.

From the very beginning every one of Halifax Fan’s products has been designed, developed and built in its factory and everything originates from the company’s own designs. All prototype fans are tested and rated to BS848 Part 1 and proven designs are also regularly monitored through systematic audit testing and re-assessment to ensure compliance with our registration to BS EN ISO 9001 and current industry, national and international standards and legislation. All Halifax Fans carry the CE Mark.

Providing the very highest quality product and customer service has always been of prime importance and a key factor maintaining Halifax Fan’s position at the forefront of fan technology.

Halifax Fan enjoys an excellent reputation world-wide and the company’s extensive customer list represents a comprehensive range of market sectors and applications.

Halifax Fan Evolution

It might seem like yesterday to some but a lot has happened since 1965. Man hadn’t stepped on the moon, average UK annual income was £750, My Fair Lady was the top movie and J.K. Rowling was born.

This was the year Halifax Fan was founded to design and manufacture fans for the local textile machine companies and factories.

Most of those textile factories are long gone but conversely, Halifax Fan has gone from strength to strength, today with factories on three continents and a global reputation for high specification custom fans to meet the most demanding applications on land and sea.

Halifax Fan was established in 1965 and launched with this 'retro' logo. It's gone through some facelifts since.

No-one takes a flyer when they buy their fans from Halifax Fan. Quality, reliability and efficiency are guaranteed. Some fans have lasted a lot longer than some of the aircraft did – but our fans don’t take any flak.
