Independent engineers · Stoke-on-Trent · Since 1959
We make industry breathe.
Bespoke dust extraction, fume control and ventilation. Surveyed, engineered, manufactured and installed by one accountable team.

More than ductwork
The air system is part of your process. We treat it that way.
Holdsworth Ventilations is a family-run manufacturing and engineering business with more than six decades of practical experience.
We solve the whole challenge: understanding the site, controlling contaminants at source, engineering the system, making the ductwork, coordinating the installation and helping it continue to perform.
