History
The company was originally incorporated on 28 January 1933, and as Vent-Axia Limited private company on 4 April 1936, to produce and sell ventilation equipment. During the second world war the company was scheduled under the Essential Works Orders and most of the output was for government departments or government contracts. In May 1946 the company acquired a new factory in Putney with 18,000 sq ft of floor space. In 1947 the company became a public company with shareholders.
In 1957 the company along with subsidiary Axia Fans agreed a 99-year lease on a new 4.5 acre site at Manor Royal in Crawley.
Products
Vent-Axia introduced the world’s first Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) fan in 1992. SELV was designed for the extra safety that is required in domestic bathrooms.
Recently the company has introduced a range of LoCarbon domestic fans using DC motors which reduce energy consumption by up to 90% when compared to variants using AC motors.
