| On Oct. 29, 1928
a father-son team in Jacksonville, FL, founded American Coolair Corporation,
now a leading manufacturer of ventilation products. What began as
our small factory operation would, within the next few decades, flourish
with the help of manufacturers’ representatives and salesmen. Sales
and markets for American Coolair fan systems increased rapidly.
Harry Graves
Sr., was the third generation of Graves to manage American Coolair,
and the catalyst who built the company to its current status. He
oversaw the finances and revolutionized the sales system. He devised
the inventory control and bill of material systems upon which our
current computer-controlled operating system is based. By moving
the company to a building with 110,000 sq. ft. of office and manufacturing
space in the 1960’s, he consolidated the business and administration
under one roof.
In the 70’s,
American Coolair’s product lines became more extensive, and the
markets in which we competed broadened to include agricultural and
horticultural. Today, American Coolair supplies ventilation products
in commercial, industrial, agricultural and horticultural markets
throughout the world. As the company continues to upgrade and replace
manufacturing techniques and equipment, our customers continue to
enjoy extraordinary value at the best possible price.
Harry Graves
Sr. secured American Coolair’s future by teaching his children what
he knew. Now, Harry Jr., Robert B., and Sara have become the fourth
generation leaders from the Graves family, cementing the family’s
successful tradition.
Today’s Coolair
products are fabricated in a 210,000 sq. ft. manufacturing complex
by employees who value economy and efficiency. Each ventilation
system and accessory is crafted with quality materials for durable
wear and low maintenance.
American Coolair
continues to design, manufacture, sell, and service ventilation
products and accessories with one goal in mind: to remain the market
leader by providing the best, most cost-efficient ventilation products
available anywhere.
