Part of Elta Group

Across all of our people, in all of our businesses, on all continents on which we operate, Elta Group has one purpose: To enhance life through air.

For 20 years we have been a proudly independent, family-owned group, but our foundations were laid over 45 years ago. Our foundations were built on an entrepreneurial spirit and a clear vision of meeting market needs and improving air quality. These have seen us become a leader in high-integrity solutions that move, filter, treat and distribute air, from agriculture to building services to applied technology. We’re never standing still, always living and breathing our cause, and looking to the horizon.

Our Heritage

1972 Roger Crook and John Snape begin by producing single-phase, long-case, axial fans for commercial ovens under the company name of ‘Low Temperature Applications’.
1974 Occupying just 70m², the company’s first production facility in Woking, Surrey, UK, is set up, allowing the product range to be extended into three-phase fans up to 1.2m in diameter.
1976 Low Temperature Applications is renamed ‘Elta Fans Ltd.’
1979 Rapid expansion sees the company move into a new 500m² factory in Byfleet, Surrey. This expansion enables the company to establish its first dedicated design and engineering team.
1982 The premises are expanded to 800m² to keep pace with production requirements; sub-contracted sheet metal work is brought in-house.

The Centraflow range of in-line, centrifugal fans — designed to prevent stalling in high winds — is launched for offshore applications.
1984 Following intensive development and investment, Elta Fans’ first axial impeller is launched, providing Elta Fans with the ability to fully-manufacture a highly-competitive, axial fan unit. The product is shipped around the world, including to South Africa, Australia and the USA.
