OUR HISTORY /

AMERICAN COOLING SYSTEMS started in 1999 with a core group of Engineering, Quality, Test and Sales personnel experienced in the Agricultural, Industrial, Construction, On and Off-Highway, Specialty Vehicle, and Class 8 markets.  ACS’s initial objective was to provide fans to niche markets that other larger manufactures chose not to pursue.  Our fans are standard on Agricultural, Industrial, Construction, On and Off-Highway, Specialty Vehicle, and Class 8 markets.  And, ACS offers a full line of replacement fans for most applications.

We design and manufacture Polymer engine cooling fans for OEM and Aftermarket use.  ACS fans demonstrate the highest performance levels to maximize airflow while reducing demand on engine horsepower.  Our fans have significantly higher efficiency than standard fans and are available in clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations, with diameters up to 1250 mm.

1999 – ACS developed and patented a unique laser-assisted computerized fan balancing system using hub-mounted balance weights. We achieve near-zero unbalance, which avoids balancing by trimming the fan blade tips. This assures each fan blade is at a uniform length, ensuring consistent tip clearance, creating greater airflow, and lower noise. All ACS fans from the smallest diameter to the largest diameter are balanced to near-zero unbalance.  Starting with initial production ACS utilized a controlled coating process (E-Coat) on the fan center disk. This process reduces unbalance of the center disk and provides superior corrosion resistance.  These state of the art processes assure that our customers receive the highest level of quality and the most robust designs available.

2004 – ACS moved to its present location at 3099 Wilson Drive N.W. in Grand Rapids, Michigan to increase capacity to support its growing list of global customers,  and 2008 ACS achieved ISO 9001 certification, and in 2011 we were Certified ISO 14001.

ACS has received numerous awards including; PACCAR’s Supplier of the Year, Spartan’s Quality Supplier Award, and we have received Quality Certifications from our global OEM customers.
