Matthews Fan Company is Made in America



Duplo-Dinamico FanMatthews Fan Company is the home to the original dual motor ceiling fans.  The Duplo-Dinamico was the first model that owner Chuck Matthews started assembling in his Chicago, IL apartment building root cellar years back.  The Duplo-Dinamico fan design came from the San Palo, Brazil based company Gerbar Limited founded in 1963.  This design helped the Matthews Fan Company develop many other unique contemporary ceiling fans.


What & Where are the Matthews Fans Made Of?

The Matthews Fan Company out of Liberty, IL is the only high end ceiling fan manufacture that uses american made motors in all of their ceiling fan models.  Matthews Fan Company buys motors from Mcmillan Electric Company located in Woodville, Wisconsin.  Mcmillan manufactures over 10,000,000 electric motors a year selling to North American Clients since 1976.  The frames and heavy duty stamped steel housings are manufactured in San Palo, Brazil at Gerbar Limited and the solid mahogany wood blades are Ecologically Harvested in Rondonia, Brazil.  These parts along with the motors are shipped to the Matthews Fan factory where each ceiling fan model is hand assembled.
