Five Decades of Safety

This year marks a monumental milestone for us - our 50th anniversary. Five decades of relentless innovation, steady growth, and unwavering commitment to safety have shaped who we are today.

Founded by Robert Magill on April Fools' Day in 1974, amidst economic challenges and a government-mandated 3-day work week, Actionair Equipment Ltd laid the cornerstone for the business we are today.

From the introduction of ground breaking products to acquisitions that have solidified Actionair's growth trajectory and position within the industry, years of continued evolution and innovation have truly set the stage for our current success. As we look back on this remarkable journey, we are inspired by the dedication and resilience of our team. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to excellence, poised for even greater success in the years to come.
