Company Pedigree

More than 60 years of experience

1955 Our founder, Alexander Conner Wilson established Airflow Developments in the garage of his home in High Wycombe. Wilson was a fan engineer by trade and had an idea to develop a measuring instrument to help him in his fan testing work. With his wife Nancy, he started the company and invented the first inclined manometer (a pressure measuring device) to go into commercial production. 1960 From the garage in his home, a move to new factory premises less than a mile away on the newly established Cressex Industrial Estate in High Wycombe. The original wooden device, which measured positive, negative and differential pressure, was the forerunner of a range of air flow measuring instruments for HVAC applications which are still sold around the world today. He also invented the Wilson Flow Grid, an array of pitot static tubes which measure differential pressure. Even today the most sophisticated Formula 1 racing cars rely on this technology to measure their speed and performance. 1965 Industrial centrifugal fans and blowers were introduced into the manufacturing process sold to original equipment manufacturers for ventilation, cooling and warm air distribution purposes. 1969 The domestic extractor fan, the Aidelle Loovent was launched. With over two million units sold to date it still forms part of the residential ventilation portfolio of extractor fans.

Airflow has grown since 1955 from one mans knowledge in the fields of fan design and airflow measurement into a thriving international group, renowned for its innovative approach in developing new products and techniques for moving air. Based in High Wycombe, where our founder started the business, we now span the world with subsidiaries in Germany and the Czech Republic and overseas distributors from Norway to New Zealand. With knowledgeable and committed staff we are constantly striving to develop new, innovative solutions which raise standards and provide reliable, long term solutions for the stringent demands of our ever changing world.
