Where We StartedWhere We’re Going
1989
Humble Beginning, Bold Vision
Following the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Marty Artis began working as a sheet metal manufacturer at 10 years old. After 24 years of working in challenging conditions, he believed business could be done a better way. Marty created Fresh Air Manufacturing (FAMCO) to take better care of both customers and employees. His commitment to quality, innovation and doing right by people laid the foundation for everything to come.
1995
Expanding Through Innovation
FAMCO introduced injection-molded plastic HVAC products to the product offering, reflecting a drive for continuous improvement, and customer desires for high-performance, cost-effective products.
1999
A New Home for a Growing Family
As demand grew, FAMCO moved into a 20,000sq. ft. in Meridian, ID marking FAMCO’s transition from a small operation to a steadily expanding manufacturer, backed by a community of employees, partners, and family members united around shared purpose.
2002
Continued Growth
Just three years later to accommodate the surge in growth, the facility was expanded by 15,000 sq. ft., a direct result of putting the customer first by offering quality products and quick lead times.
2009
Reaching New Heights With RoofCo
FAMCO broadened its capabilities with the introduction of RoofCo, the company’s roofing division, further strengthening its role in the building products industry by servicing a new set of customers.
2016
The Next Generation
The next generation of Marty’s family stepped into key management roles. Their arrival marked not a shift, but a continuation- a promise that FAMCO’s future would be guided by the same heart, principles, and purpose that defined its past.
2023
Celebrating a Legacy
To honor the life of our founder, Marty Artis, FAMCO announced a new benefit – “Marty’s Month.” This paid, month-long, sabbatical is offered to all employees, every 5 years, to encourage employees to live life to the fullest.
