MacroAir’s Founders, Walt and Eddie Boyd, are natural problem solvers. From pioneering the aluminum swingarm and the roof felt layer to devising the Cargo-Loc and the portable, self-erecting Jumbotron, their ingenuity has consistently addressed real-world problems. But, perhaps their most impactful creation is the HVLS fan, which revolutionized air movement technology. Eddie’s philosophy states, "Every product you invent should help to solve a problem."
Driven by Innovation, Inspired to Make a Difference
-
Their dedication to innovation stems from a genuine desire to make a difference and improve the lives of others. The Boyd’s natural problem-solving abilities have driven MacroAir’s journey, which began in the early 1990s. Walter and Eddie were approached by a colleague from the Agricultural arm of the University of California Riverside to find a solution for dairy cattle heat exhaustion.

Thus, began a remarkable adventure fueled by innovation and dedication. For close to a decade, Walt and Eddie poured their hearts and minds into creating a solution. In 1998, their relentless pursuit came to fruition as they manufactured and shipped out the world’s first high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fan. This marked the birth of the entire HVLS industry
