Our journey

Five decades of engineering progress.

The Revolution Begins
1975

The Revolution Begins

Dr. Robert Mosiewicz develops an axial fan product line that revolutionizes the industry. Packaged cooling tower manufacturers worldwide switch to this superior product — optimizing efficiency, noise, price, and quality control.

A New Vision
2009

A New Vision

After identifying a stagnant market with no significant improvements, Dr. Mosiewicz conceives an improved product line addressing a critical fifth attribute: the reduction or elimination of vibration in large, multi-cell installations.

Design, Test, Validate
2010–2011

Design, Test, Validate

An experienced team of experts designs and tests the new fan platform. A two-year exclusive agreement with one of the largest fan users in the market validates every aspect of the design under real-world conditions.

Axial Fans International is Born
2012

Axial Fans International is Born

The exclusive testing period concludes successfully. Axial Fans International is officially incorporated to bring the new fan technology to the global marketplace.

Global Expansion
2015

Global Expansion

AFI's patented technology is adopted across multiple continents. The company establishes its presence in power generation, oil & gas, and industrial cooling markets worldwide.

SMARTFANS & SMARTCOOLS
2020

SMARTFANS & SMARTCOOLS

AFI launches its patented SMARTFANS and SMARTCOOLS product families — pushing beyond best available technologies with breakthrough efficiency, vibration and noise reduction.

The UNIQUE Fan System
2024

The UNIQUE Fan System

The patented UNIQUE high-efficiency fan system is introduced — a one-of-a-kind, patent-protected technology now adopted in 30+ countries, delivering up to 35% energy savings, 15% increased airflow, or 11 tons of CO₂ reduction per unit.

2025

AFI USA is Established

Axial Fans USA Inc. is formed in Kemah, Texas, to support the continued growth of AFI International throughout North America — providing local sales, operations, inventory, field services, and customer support.

One Unified Engineering Platform.
Today

One Unified Engineering Platform.

AFI International and AFI USA operate as a unified engineering platform — Italian engineered technology with North American sales, service, and operations. From plant assessment to retrofit design, installation, monitoring and predictive maintenance.

More than a fan manufacturer. A Retrofit Engineer.

AFI is more than a fan manufacturer. We are retrofit engineers and 360° partners. We provide engineered retrofit solutions designed to increase capacity, improve airflow, reduce energy consumption, and optimize the mechanical performance of air-cooled equipment. From plant assessment to commissioning, from monitoring to maintenance — one partner, every step.

Our Mission

Propellingindustrystandardstohigherlevelsofexcellence.

AFI USA strongly believes that sustainability can only be maintained by continuous improvement. Our fan industry has been stagnant for too long — our mission is to change that.

We utilize the latest technologies for airfoils, materials, and manufacturing systems to produce improved fan products that encapsulate the best in efficiency, noise and vibration reduction, quality control, and cost.
