What Famco does

FAMCO (Fresh Air Manufacturing Co.) is a US-based, family-owned manufacturer of engineered sheet-metal ventilation products founded in 1989 and headquartered at 5450 E Franklin Road #104 in Nampa, Idaho. The company's catalog is organized into core categories of Wall Vents, Roof Vents, HVAC Dampers, and Chimney Caps, augmented by Foundation Vents, Louvered Gable Vents, Pipe Flashing, and Ventilation Accessories, with 100+ SKUs spanning 3" to 24" diameters and materials including galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, zinc-aluminum coated steel, painted steel, high-density polyethylene, and polypropylene. Engineering features include gravity-closed dampers with gaskets, spring-loaded backdraft dampers, hinged dampers, barometric pressure-relief dampers for make-up air, fixed and movable louvers, and integrated insect screens, with proprietary offerings such as an 8-component Modular Wall Vent kit and the "Skuttle" Make-Up Air Kit.

FAMCO's products are built around flush-mount and low-profile designs targeted at residential and light-commercial HVAC applications — dryer termination, bath/kitchen exhaust, attic static ventilation, intake/exhaust ventilation, and chimney flue protection. Production uses in-house US sheet-metal fabrication, and the company advertises an industry-leading 5-day lead time as its core operational differentiator. Recent product additions emphasize configurability (Modular Wall Vent with adjustable 4"/5"/6" reducer) and code-relevant features (Make-Up Air Kit for cold-climate infiltration control).

The business model is multi-channel. Primary revenue comes from one-time direct e-commerce sales through famcomfg.com (WordPress/WooCommerce storefront with cart, checkout, free shipping, 30-day returns, and a 1-year product warranty), supplemented by net-terms invoiced B2B orders, custom bulk-quote manufacturing with a 10% cancellation fee on quoted volumes, a Contractor Program ("Contractors come first"), a dealer locator network, and territory-based field sales rep coverage. Range unit pricing on individual SKUs spans roughly $15 to $283 depending on size, material, and configuration; registered accounts receive a 10% first-order discount. FAMCO is privately held with no external funding disclosed and operates as a continuous family-owned business since 1989.
