Fifty years of trust, built one order at a time

AirGuide Manufacturing started out as the top pick for construction and retrofit projects in the coastal states throughout the U.S. Today the same all-aluminum grilles, registers and diffusers serve the worldwide market. Still made to customer order, still made in Hialeah.

The Hialeah plant

52,000 square feet of lean manufacturing

All AirGuide products are offered in full and fractional sizes with standard and custom colors for all models. They are made to customer orders and produced efficiently with a lean manufacturing process from our 52,000 sq. ft. facility in Hialeah, Florida.

Making to order rather than to a forecast is what keeps custom work affordable: the line runs the size the job needs, in the finish the architect chose, without a warehouse of near-misses paying for itself in the price of everything else.

How we work

Speed, ease and competitiveness for everyone on the job

The same made-to-order line serves the specifier, the distributor and the crew on site. Each one needs something different from us.

Engineers & architects

Tailor specifications to your customers' needs. Full and fractional sizes, custom colors and published test data on every family mean the design does not have to be talked down to what is in stock somewhere.

Distributors

Go after custom jobs and individualized programs at affordable pricing. Custom quality without the custom price tag is a competitive position you can quote from, not just a slogan.

Builders, contractors & installers

Product that arrives sized right, finished right and quiet on start-up. Fewer surprises at rough-in, a shorter punch list, and nobody driving back six months later.

The through line

From coastal specialist to worldwide supplier

  • Where it started The coastal states chose aluminum

    Salt air punishes steel air distribution. Building the whole product in aluminum made AirGuide the top pick for construction and retrofit projects across the U.S. coastal states.

  • What it became A full line, made to order

    Supply, return, ceiling, linear, louvers and dampers: more than one hundred model families in full and fractional sizes, standard and custom colors.

  • How it is made Lean manufacturing in Hialeah

    One 52,000 sq. ft. plant, produced in the USA and GSA approved, running to customer orders rather than to inventory.

  • Where it goes The worldwide market

    The same warranty, the same promise and the same made-to-order flexibility, now serving projects well beyond the coastline where it began.

What has not changed

Fifty years on, the reason people specify AirGuide is the same reason they did at the start: the product is quiet, it does not corrode, and it does not come back. Everything else (the model count, the markets, the plant) grew around that.

Work with AirGuide

Whether you are specifying, distributing or installing, we will meet the job where it is: sizes, finishes, schedule and all.
