Actionair a brand of Ruskin Air Management Limited

Certified life safety is the ultimate motivation behind our ongoing research, development and testing programmes. Creating innovative yet proven products whose preliminary task is to protect buildings but whose ultimate test is to save lives is the definitive engineering challenge that Actionair identifies within all its aspects.

As market leader in the UK manufacture of fire, smoke and air control products, including a full range of dampers and fan coil units with airside and waterside control, we have successfully fulfilled this daunting brief without faltering once in our 36-year history.

Not only does every single one of our products meet the latest European standards and regulations, the depth of research and testing that goes into its design and manufacture ensures that the great majority exceed those legislative demands.

Actionair products now serve HVAC systems throughout the world in major building projects, industrial and tunnel applications on land and at sea with marine dampers that satisfy the 1999 Marine Equipment Directive now recognised as the mandatory life-saving standard in Europe and the USA.

Ruskin Air Management Limited
Piecing together a world of experience

Over 1000 tonnes of steel and 320 tonnes of aluminium are needed every year to deliver a craftsmanship in air, fire and smoke control products that is unconditionally endorsed worldwide.

No small player in the market, Ruskin Air Management is the acknowledged UK market leader in air distribution and fire and smoke control. With three authoritative brand names and 520 years’ combined sales experience, our customers draw huge benefits from a unique interchange of information and investment in shared technology and resources. Supported by our US parent Ruskin Company, the world’s largest and most innovative air control solutions manufacturer, we combine financial stability with pioneering technology, thanks to unrestricted access to sophisticated test and development facilities stateside.

Our UK manufacturing facilities are concentrated at two modern production centres – Bridgnorth in Shropshire where Air Diffusion grille and diffuser products are designed and assembled together with Naco metal and glass louvre ranges and Whitstable in Kent where Actionair fire and smoke control dampers and fan coils are fabricated. From a simple grille to a sophisticated computer controlled system, whatever the specification our skilled design teams and sales engineers deliver superior quality, whole-project solutions that are exhaustively trialled and emphatically cost efficient, thanks to our group purchasing power.
