| The original Vornado fans were built in Wichita, Kansas, in the
1940s and '50s by the O.A. Sutton Company, which has long-since retired.
Turned-aluminum construction, innovative design and superb performance,
these were the qualities that made Vornado the consumers' choice for
decades. In 1989, Michael C. Coup founded a new Vornado company. With
its first whole-room air circulator, a significantly higher-tech version
of the original Vornado fan. The Vornado brand quickly became known as
the leading designer, manufacturer, and supplier of air comfort
products. Since 1989, the Vornado line has expanded to encompass more
than 25 models across five distinct comfort categories including air
circulators, purifiers, room heaters, room humidifiers and oscillating
fans - all bearing the Vornado brand, the most trusted brand in air
comfort for more than 50 years.
Design and engineering, as well as some manufacturing functions, are
performed in-house at Vornado's 120,000 square-foot headquarters in
Andover, Kansas. Vornado also is home to the Antique Fan Collectors
Museum, featuring the most comprehensive collection of air moving
devices in the world, including rare fans dating back to the mid-1800s.
We invite you to visit the museum and our hometown of Andover, Kansas.
