Celebrating 25 years of JS Air Curtains

This year, JS Air Curtains is proud to celebrate a very special milestone - 25 years of keeping doorways across the UK comfortable, stylish, and energy-efficient. What began in 1999 with a modest catalogue of just 90 models has grown into one of the country’s most comprehensive air curtain offerings, now boasting more than 450 solutions for every type of building.

Over the years, air curtains have evolved dramatically, moving far beyond basic over-door heaters to become advanced systems that blend performance with design. Today, our products can be seamlessly integrated into building controls and even customised with signage, sensors, and graphics, making them a vital part of both comfort and architecture.

In 2011, JS Air Curtains joined the Condair Group, a global leader in humidification and evaporative cooling. Becoming part of Condair gave us access to greater resources and international expertise, while still allowing us to keep our own trusted brand identity here in the UK. It was an important chapter that helped us strengthen our reputation and expand our reach within the HVAC industry.

After more than a decade within the group, we turned the page to a new era in December 2024, when JS Air Curtains became an independent business following a successful management buy-out led by our Managing Director, Tony Fleming. This return to independence has given us the freedom to build on everything we learned during our years with Condair, while continuing to innovate with the same dedicated team and high standards our customers know and trust.

Adding to the sense of fresh beginnings, we’ve recently relocated our head office to Chichester. After a whirlwind couple of days of lifting, plugging in IT, and settling in, our team is enjoying a new countryside setting. Whether it’s a walk through the fields or a refreshing drink in a beer garden overlooking the sea, our new doggie friendly location is already adding to the team’s wellbeing and sense of community.

We’ve also taken steps to strengthen our future in other ways. In December 2024 we invested in our processes with brand new, Microsoft Business Central ERP and Dynamics CRM systems. To underwrite this, in June 2025, we achieved Cyber Essentials accreditation, the UK government-backed standard for cyber security. This certification reinforces our commitment to protecting our systems, data, and the trust our customers place in us. We are also investing in our operations with new warehousing and distribution logistics and maintenance services to ensure excellent customer service.

Reflecting on this landmark year, Tony Fleming commented, “Reaching 25 years is a fantastic achievement for the whole team. Our journey has been built on the trust of our manufacturing partners, customers and the unwavering dedication of our staff. Now, as an independent business once again, we have a golden opportunity to invest even more in customer service, innovation and continue delivering the highest-quality air curtains and bespoke solutions.”

From our new home in Chichester, JS Air Curtains continues to combine friendly, expert advice with competitive pricing and cutting-edge design. As we celebrate 25 years, we want to thank all our customers, partners, and colleagues who have been part of the journey so far. Here’s to the next chapter - and to many more years of keeping doorways welcoming, efficient, and sustainable.
