MAE Air Systems

Established in 1978 as MacAllister Engineering Ltd. or MAE, it is a wholly Irish owned and operated firm.
They are one of the few companies on the island of Ireland who have the capabilities to design and manufacture customised dust extraction systems here while other companies import generic units from foreign producers.



MAE are synonymous with the provision of high-quality products and after sales service. They endeavour to do this from a low-cost base to allow them deliver excellent value for their customers and in a way that is both responsive to their customers and the markets they operate in.

Innovation and continuous improvement is a cultural norm in MAE who strive to stay ahead of the curve on new technology and its application in their sector.
Within these parameters, a combination of design expertise is used with a keen workshop know-how and experience to tackle a wide set of engineering problems and deliver solutions for customers on time. This ranges from the manufacture of comprehensive environmental control systems to simpler fabrication jobs.

MAE’s key area of competence however, has always been in the use of air in engineering solutions and in 2014 they rebranded as MAE Air Systems to reflect that specialty.
