The Huddersfield Examiner’s Business section has just reported on the ongoing success and growth of England’s biggest fan manufacturer. 

A major pet-food manufacturer has selected 6 high-efficiency bespoke engineered Halifax Fan ‘Beaufort’ high volume, low speed fans to extract and filter half-a-million cubic metres of process fumes and air per hour as part of a substantial expansion project.

While many long established companies have vanished from sight since 2008, Halifax Fan Ltd has gone from strength to strength.

Post-investment problems

One West Yorkshire-based manufacturer that has invested in preparing to supply the UK nuclear industry is Halifax Fan, a company that has expanded to China and has established a sales office in Bangkok.

Halifax Fan Ltd have recently commissioned a new Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software suite which will be used to evaluate aerodynamic and thermal performance of existing and new fan systems.

A combination of regular volume OEM orders coupled with orders for two of the biggest fans in its history, has enabled Halifax Fan to rack up record growth figures.  2010/11 saw sales grow by 30% followed by 45% growth during 2011/12.

"Fans aren’t something we buy every day and I’m not that conversant with the fan market so I didn’t really know Halifax Fan” said Jim "Their service was exceptional. They were here on site within hours of my phone call,

discussed the application, measured up what was left of the old fan and provided a competitive quotation.”

Halifax has now delivered a $1,000,000 single fan to a petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia.

Halifax Fan’s consultancy-led sales service wins friends in SE Asia.

Since Halifax responded to customer needs in SE Asia by opening a new sales and service office in Bangkok, in association with ATa Services, the company’s reputation, and along with it the order-book, has benefited enormously.
