The pioneering spirit of MacroAir's founder, Walter Boyd, and his son, Eddie Boyd, is evident in their contributions to various industries, from the aluminum swingarm to the portable, self-erecting Jumbotron. However, their most impactful creation remains the HVLS fan, a testament to their commitment to innovation and improving lives. Eddie Boyd's philosophy, "Every product you invent should help to solve a problem," encapsulates their approach to every challenge they tackle.
That is exactly what the two did in the early 1990s when the University of California-Riverside faced a unique challenge: finding an efficient way to cool dairy cattle suffering from heat exhaustion. Through years of research and development, Walt and Eddie invented the world's first high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fan, revolutionizing air movement technology. By 1998, their vision had materialized, and production of the HVLS fan began, marking the birth of an entire industry.
Today, MacroAir proudly remains a family-owned and operated company based in San Bernardino, California. Chief Executive Officer, Eddie Boyd, alongside his daughters, our Senior Vice Presidents, Jaylin Krell and Sheila Riley, continue to lead the charge. Together, their passion and leadership ensure that MacroAir remains at the forefront of innovation in industrial airflow solutions, staying true to the values and vision that started it all.
At MacroAir, the focus has always been on engineering excellence. Inspired by Walt’s racing background and the simplicity and precision of a race car, today MacroAir engineers design HVLS fans that deliver unparalleled airflow and stand the test of time. There are no gimmicks. We put exactly what is necessary to maximize performance and efficiency, and nothing more. Function over flash. This unwavering commitment to innovative engineering ensures that every MacroAir fan enhances environments, improves efficiency, and elevates comfort. MacroAir doesn’t just manufacture fans; they engineer solutions driven by a love for what they do and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
