About AQE: Air Filtration System Experts

Air Quality Engineering was organized as Smokemaster, Inc. in 1973 emphasizing design, development and sales of air filtration systems for tobacco smoke removal.

In 1974 we marked the beginning of our relationship with Honeywell when we agreed to produce commercial air cleaners for this major manufacturer, an agreement that would last 10 years. Shortly thereafter we also began offering industrial air filtration system design and production services to Honeywell.

In 1984 Honeywell’s decision to manufacture their own commercial air cleaners provided AQE with the opportunity to develop our own worldwide commercial marketing organization. Simultaneously, we purchased Honeywell’s industrial air cleaner business and became an important competitor in the air cleaner market. At this time it was clear that a new and more comprehensive name would better reflect our broader product range and we became Air Quality Engineering in 1984.

Our electronic air cleaners offer all modular solid-state components. All of our equipment is designed for low maintenance, energy efficiency and optimal collection efficiency.

Air Quality Engineering has drawn on the past 30 years of experience to manufacture complete air filtration systems that provide the most filtration performance, efficiency and capacity for the money. Our experience has led to the unique Coanda airflow pattern increasing the performance of the air cleaner as well as heat distribution of your environment, our patent pending variable voltage technology to increase filtration efficiency and variable speed controls to fit the demands of the moment.
