On Oct. 29, 1928 a father-son team in Jacksonville, FL, founded American Coolair Corporation, now a leading manufacturer of ventilation products. What began as our small factory operation would, within the next few decades, flourish with the help of manufacturers’ representatives and salesmen. Sales and markets for American Coolair fan systems increased rapidly.

Harry Graves Sr., was the third generation of Graves to manage American Coolair, and the catalyst who built the company to its current status. He oversaw the finances and revolutionized the sales system. He devised the inventory control and bill of material systems upon which our current computer-controlled operating system is based. By moving the company to a building with 110,000 sq. ft. of office and manufacturing space in the 1960’s, he consolidated the business and administration under one roof.

Harry Graves Sr. secured American Coolair’s future by teaching his children what he knew. Now, Harry Jr., Robert B., and Sara have become the fourth generation leaders from the Graves family, cementing the family’s successful tradition.

American Coolair continues to design, manufacture, sell, and service ventilation products and accessories with one goal in mind: to remain the market leader by providing the best, most cost-efficient ventilation products available anywhere.
