Jackson Gospel Hall Church Old Irish Mill Smalley Construction Ultimate Auto 504 S. West Avenue Project 2016 EG Investor Spotlight Spotlight on Airmaster Fan Company Airmaster Fan Company s history originates in 1886 as the first electrical fan was patented by the Diehl Fan Company. During the next hundred years, Airmaster acquired the Chelsea, Brundage and Power Line Fan companies and marketed each brand separately. To streamline operations, sales and marketing of circulation/ventilation products were consolidated in 2002 to one name, Airmaster Fan Company. In 2013, Airmaster was purchased by another family business from Germany, the Maico group. The Maico group is a globally recognized leader in ventilation products and they are known for their product quality, reliability and reputation. Maico also brings additional new market opportunity, fan innovation and product expertise to Airmaster. Under new leadership, Benjamin Braitsch, the new President of Airmaster, worked closely with EG Staff for site relocation assistance, and to discuss expansion plans to accommodate their growth. In 2016, Airmaster, and their 30 existing employees, moved across town to the former American Corrugated facility at 9229 S. Meridian Road on US 127 in Columbia Township. EG Staff collaborated and led the effort with Consumers Energy and Comcast to ensure internet service was provided to their new location. Thanks to Airmaster Fan Company for their investment! From finding a new location to making sure we were finally connected to High-Speed internet, The EG was a top-notch economic development team connecting all the dots for us. Without The EG s support, we would not have been able to push this project as much as we did. Their efforts helped us look forward to completing our move on time without any extra expenses. Benjamin Braitsch, President & CEO
