Anjos Ventilation

Anjos Ventilation is a French manufacturer specialising in ventilation components and air-management solutions for buildings. Founded in 1959 by Andrée and Joseph Barbarin as a French metalworking (serrurerie) company, the business gradually concentrated on ventilation equipment and today describes itself as a maker of air inlets, extraction outlets, ductwork components, air intakes and exhausts, and ventilation grilles. Its stated ambition is to be a "manufacturer of well-being" (fabricant de bien-être), combining products that improve living conditions with industrial processes and customer relationships built on trust and co-construction. The company is family-owned and family-run. After the founders, Laurent and Christian Barbarin took over leadership in 2000 and have driven the modernisation of the industrial tooling. A third generation, Guillaume Barbarin, has been associated with the digital transformation of the business since 2018. Anjos Ventilation presents itself as a pioneer in its field, having developed the first self-regulating air inlet in 1968 and a self-regulating extraction outlet in 1984. Anjos Ventilation sells mainly to ventilation professionals — installers, specifiers and building professionals — through a catalogue that the company says exceeds 10,000 product references. Its own figures cite more than 16,000 orders per year and more than 11 million products manufactured per year. Product families include air inlets, extraction outlets, network components, air intakes and exhausts, and ventilation grilles, supported by regulation technologies. The brand is present in the French market and exhibits at industry events such as the Interclima trade fair. As a mid-sized, privately held French industrial brand, Anjos Ventilation positions itself on quality, innovation in airflow regulation and a model that combines economic, ecological and social logic. Its communication emphasises authenticity and commitment, and it frames its more than 60-year history as the foundation of its identity.

Anjos Ventilation traces its origins to 1959, when Andrée and Joseph Barbarin founded a French metalworking company (société française de serrurerie). The founders are described by the company as pioneers in their field of activity, and the business progressively focused on ventilation equipment in order to bring targeted, specific added value to the market. Key technical milestones followed. In 1968 the company developed its first self-regulating air inlet, an early example of airflow regulation built into a ventilation component. In 1984 it developed a self-regulating extraction outlet, extending its regulation expertise to the extraction side of ventilation systems. Leadership passed to the next generation in 2000, when Laurent and Christian Barbarin took over the management of the company. Their stated priority has been to evolve the industrial tooling so that the manufacturer remains at the forefront of modernity. Under their direction the company has continued to present itself as a French industrial specialist in ventilation components. A third generation joined the business in 2018, when Guillaume Barbarin became associated with the company's digital transformation. The company frames this as part of a continuous reinvention, alongside its product development and trade-fair presence. By the 2020s Anjos Ventilation described itself as a company with more than 60 years of history, an identity built on authenticity and commitment, and a catalogue of more than 10,000 product references. Its published figures include more than 16,000 orders per year and more than 11 million products manufactured per year. The brand continues to develop new products — such as the ÉLYSIA extraction outlet presented in 2026 — and to exhibit at industry events including Interclima.
