Company Profile Who are we?

Fans Direct is a wholly Australian owned company whose history stretches back over 20 years in the HVAC industry. Our ancestry includes proud names such as Ziehl-ebm fans and motors along with NuAire UK. Our goal is to deliver unparalleled service, product innovation, competitive pricing, and quality products that meet the needs of our customers. Personalised, face to face service delivered by an experienced team and listening to our customers are foundations of a company philosophy that has seen the business grow into a world class enterprise. What do we do?

From our modern office and factory complex located in Melbourne or from any of our 14 sales outlets around Australia and New Zealand, we service the ventilation equipment needs of customers in industries ranging from HVAC through to mining, manufacturing and materials processing. In virtually any situation where air or other gases need to be moved, we have a fan and the expertise to get the job done to specification, without fuss and to budget. Why should you use us?

Clients have told us that what they want are “fans that meet specification delivered on time at the quoted price”, followed by “easy access to people who know what they’re talking about and can solve problems quickly”. At Fans Direct we have put more resources into ‘on the road’ staff than most companies in our industry which means a known and trusted face is never far away to solve even the most complicated problem.

Fans Direct has always been proud of its reputation for the quality and accuracy of its test information and product data. Acoustic tests are carried out to BS848 part 2 and AMCA 300 while fan performance testing is carried out to ISO 5801. The aim of our testing is to provide confidence that specified fan performance will be delivered every time.

"Fans Direct provided excellent service and met our complex staged delivery requirements over an extended period of time on the Holsworthy SOWA (Special Operations Working Accommodation) Project. Statewide appreciate Fans Direct's assistance in quick response to changes in fan selections and meeting our delivery schedule”.
