In this issue of Industrial Process News, we are pleased to feature Elta as our Ventilation Company of the Month.
For over 50 years, Elta has been at the forefront of air movement and air quality, delivering high-performance ventilation solutions across a variation of markets including building services, Industrial & OEM, agriculture, and residential.

At Elta’s Fareham facility, they design and produce fans for their Industrial & OEM clients, this includes sectors such as Power Generation, Offshore, Oil & Gas, Marine, Processing & Plants, Aerospace and Defence, and
many more.
This includes fans for industrial and hazardous environments.

Elta provides units made with specific corrosion resistant materials and finishes to exacting specifications that are tolerant of toxic and unstable compounds ideal for this complex market.
To better serve these industries, in 2024 Elta created a new mantra ‘Air Movement, Air Quality’ to better encapsulate its vision, mission and comprehensive range of solutions.
Mark Rickard, CEO at Elta Group commented, “This strapline underscores two pivotal aspects that are at the heart of our business. Air Movement signifies our commitment to engineering excellence, innovation, and precision in every aspect of our products. While Air Quality emphasises the role we play in ensuring cleaner, healthier and safer indoor environments.”
“We’re often described as the sleeping giant of the ventilation industry, which is evidenced by many companies increasing their specifications with us once through the door. Ultimately, we can build any type of fan or ventilation system required which people sometimes don’t realise. We often see a simple enquiry evolve into us delivering a full solution and that’s what this investment into the business is all about.”
“We are well known for our industry-leading fans – a critical element of any ventilation system. However, industry professionals well know that there is so much more to ventilation specification and our business is well-equipped with a wide suite of solutions and technical expertise to lead the charge on improving air quality throughout the built environment.”
Elta is an industry leader in fan technology, air handling units, noise control equipment and controls, delivering holistic solutions that futureproof against the demanding challenges of modern society.
Elta, formally known as Elta Fans, continues to possess all the same qualities and expertise that the company was founded on over ago 50 years ago. Elta is always enhancing and growing its already successful product range to include more fans, noise control equipments, air handling units, and accessories.
Another exciting milestone for the company occurred back in December last year. In addition to being ATEX certified, Elta achieved IECEx Certification which is the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) certification program for equipment and services used in explosive atmospheres. As a globally recognised standard, this achievement has bolstered Elta’s portfolio following a two-year auditing period.
Elta was awarded the certification for its range of direct driven axial fans. The process involved factory production control audits and comprehensive assessments of design, manufacturing, and quality control procedures to ensure compliance with IEC standards. Neville Tubb, Chief Engineer at Elta, said, “Safety always needs to be of the utmost importance in hazardous environments. All industries where there is the potential for explosion are beginning to see the value in having equipment that is third-party certified, and that is why we are thrilled to receive the IECEx certification. It is a testament to our team’s hard work and our unwavering commitment to safety and quality. It reinforces our position as a trusted partner in the industry and highlights our ability to meet the stringent safety standards required.”
In recognition of its unwavering commitment to innovation, safety, and British manufacturing excellence, Elta has rightfully earned its place as an industry leader in the field of air quality and air movement. With over five decades of industry leadership, a clear vision encapsulated in its ‘Air Movement, Air Quality’ mantra, and a robust portfolio, Elta continues to set the standard for ventilation in the most demanding environments whilst delivering bespoke, compliant, and futureproof solutions across a wide range of sectors.
