Our Philosophy
Aeratron is the result of a partnership focused on a single goal: creating harmony between technology and the natural environment through a design that enhances life experience. The end result is a collection of simple, functional, and aesthetic products inspired by nature and made efficient through design.
Quality, attention to detail, and Swiss engineering have produced elegant, energy-efficient, and award-winning fans, which have received Gold at the International Design Awards in the USA and an International Design Award in Australia, among others.
We drew inspiration from the powerful gliding flight of the Australian Wedgetail Eagle (AE+ series) and the Frigate Birds (FR series), as well as the latest innovations in aerospace design. That’s why our two- and three-dimensional fan blades generate a silent, even airflow over a wide radius, cooling any room better while using up to 80% less energy than a conventional fan.
Our commitment to a responsible and ethical company goes beyond the surface. From compostable packaging and biodegradable components to careful consideration of every aspect of fan development and distribution—responsible action and conscious design are central to our company’s DNA. By rethinking the relationship between air and buildings, we have developed environmentally conscious and energy-efficient fans that are as beautiful as they are functional.
Where it all began
Our journey began in 1997 when our co-founder Danny Gasser – inventor of the original Aeratron fan – teamed up with a group of friends to develop an award-winning, energy-efficient ceiling fan. This early spark of curiosity and innovation laid the foundation for everything that followed.
A meeting of minds
Almost a decade later, in 2006, Danny met Ole Stockhausen, the current CEO and co-founder of Aeratron. Ole had long been passionate about bringing new technologies to market, and the two quickly discovered a shared vision: developing meaningful, energy-efficient solutions that could improve everyday life.
While experimenting with ideas, building homemade prototypes, and testing concepts, Danny developed what would later become Aeratron’s patented self-balancing system – a breakthrough that eliminates flutter and reduces energy consumption by up to 50%.
A challenge that needed to be solved
Meanwhile, Ole gathered feedback from architects and engineers who were hesitant to use ceiling fans in commercial spaces. The message was clear: traditional fans wobble, are noisy, cause drafts – and their design hasn’t changed for decades.
This challenge became the core mission of Aeratron:
To develop a stylish, whisper-quiet fan that produces a consistent airflow, doesn’t wobble, and uses significantly less energy.
Completion of the founding team
Around this time, Mark Lewis joined the company as co-founder and CFO, completing the original team. With his extensive experience in helping companies scale and commercialize technologies—and equipped with a master's degree in Renewable Energy—Mark brought both expertise and personal passion to Aeratron's mission.

Silent by nature
Silent by Nature – with this term, we summarize AERATRON's innovation in the development of our especially quiet fans
Summer and winter operation
In combination with your heating system, your air conditioning, or both, the temperature in your rooms can be adjusted so that your energy costs noticeably decrease.
Dimmable Light
Transform your AERATRON with this easy-to-install installation kit into a stylish light source featuring a dimmable 10W LED.
INSPIRED BY NATURE, EFFICIENT THROUGH DESIGN
Silent by Nature – this term summarizes AERATRON's innovation in developing our especially quiet fans. Inspired by nature, we have ergonomically improved the blades of our ceiling fans. Modeled after eagle wings, we equipped them with small winglets at the tips that eliminate strong air vortices and ensure optimal airflow. AERATRON fan blades thus provide an especially efficient, even, and clean airflow. This not only exceeds the industry standard but also makes our ceiling fans nearly silent.
