Fanimation was founded in 1984 by Mr. Tom Frampton, a man who is now recognized as an industry leader for his creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. Mr. Frampton began Fanimation with just three ceiling fan designs, a garage to engineer his fans, a van to transport his fans and an unwavering determination to manufacture the most unique and high quality fans on the market. From the start, these revolutionary designs have broken barriers and set industry standards.
