Austin Air Purifier History

Austin Air - Built for family first

The Austin Air Healthmate air purifier was born out of necessity as President, Richard Taylor, undertook the task of improving what many doctors and specialists couldn't; his wife's quality of life.

Since his wife, Joyce, was a child, she had difficulty breathing. An endless round of doctors and specialists didn't make any difference; neither did medications or dietary changes. She suffered from this debilitating condition for years, until Richard realized the obvious. The air Joyce was breathing was contaminated.

Drawing upon technology used in medical facilities, Richard reproduced the only environment where Joyce had relief of her symptoms, “the hospital clean room”. Using True Medical HEPA, surrounded with Activated Carbon he created an air filter that addressed all the issues related to environmental particulate contamination and chemical toxicity. Within a week Joyce was finally sleeping undisturbed through the night.

Today, at 480,000 square feet Austin Air has the largest air cleaner manufacturing facility in the world, producing everything in house from filter, to metal forming, to the final paint.

Austin Air is extremely proud that the Austin Air Healthmate air purifier is the air cleaner of choice by leading doctors throughout the United States and many other parts of the world. As a matter of fact, there is hardly a country in the world today, where an Austin Air purifier is not hard at work cleaning the air in someone's home.
