Covid19: Company Statement
In the face of the growing coronavirus pandemic, our global organisation with factories in the UK, China and the USA has allowed us to remain operational even when one of the countries has been shut down. After a 6 week closure both our Chinese factories are back in operation and the lessons learned from our Chinese experience have allowed us to better prepare if either the UK or USA factories are required to experience the same hiatus.
With our manufacturing presence and cloud systems we are able to continue to deliver fans and spare parts on a world wide basis (pending operational means of transport).
You can contact us via LinkedIn or our support email sales@halifax-fan.com.
We wish you, your family and your business good health during this challenging time.

Growth has been spectacular with demand outstripping capacity.

By manufacturing in the UK, China and the USA, Halifax Fan can avoid tariff penalties
Industrial fans are by their very nature, heavy, voluminous and largely made of steel. This means that shipping costs, either to the OEMs, such as oven manufacturers, who will fit them to their machines or to end users like the steel industry, can add enormously to the quoted cost. Additionally, shipping globally can add substantially to the price because of international tariff barriers. Fans shipped into the USA for example, attract a 27% tariff. USA built fans avoid this penalty completely.
