"About Us"

JanAire all began in 1987 when I started wondering if a "PolyVent"
( that is what we call our air operated curtain)
could replace conventional curtains and doors on livestock buildings. 
     We installed our first "PolyVent"  and  "RidgeVent" on  a hog finishing
unit in Minnesota the fall of 1987. That winter, the temperature got down to
MINUS 35 degrees,  three times !   

That following spring, we had 2 happy customers!!!! 
Our first Naturally Ventilated Hog Building!

We took what we learned from our first winter and made a few basic changes
to the frames, and, coming from a dairy and hog background,
we HAD to try our JanAire System in a dairy. Next, we tried a dairy free stall and calf barn, then we did more hog barns, and then, a turkey finisher the year of 1988.  That winter was a normal cold, snowing winter, and, by spring, we had 7 happy customers!

Since then, we have installed thousands of JanAire Systems
across North America, Canada, and Europe. 

Our customers keep giving us new challenges like: 
    Could your system work to keep sand out of my parlor during a sand storm? 
( it does!)
I need a "Fail Safe" on my power ventilated barn
in case the controls malfunction, would yours work ? 
( it does!)

Our customers are what makes JanAire interesting, they keep us  going !
