History
The Barry family has owned and controlled Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. since its
inception in 1973. On January 1, 1996 Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. became an Employee
Owned (ESOP) Company.
Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. operated exclusively in Minneapolis until 1984, when
manufacturing was relocated to Brookings, South Dakota. The Brookings plant was
expanded twice and South Dakota plants were opened in Mitchell (1988), Aberdeen
(1993), and Elkton (1996). The Mitchell and Aberdeen plants have since been expanded,
and in late 1997, a new plant was constructed in Elkton adjacent to the existing plant.
In early 1997, Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. acquired Clarage Fans with offices
and a manufacturing plant in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2007 Clarage manufacturing
moved to a new state-of-the-art facility in Pulaski, Tennessee. Twin City Fan Companies,
Ltd. also continues to manufacture part of its product line in Dayton, Ohio. Twin
City Holland joined Twin City Fan Companies in 2002 with an aluminum foundry in
Davenport, Iowa. Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. owns more than 600,000 square feet
of office and manufacturing facilities.
