Business Continuity is in our DNA
Silent-Aire’s journey is marked by transformative milestones. In 2004, Dan and Lindsey Leckelt became Co-CEOs, initiating a new era of leadership. The first enterprise data center CRAHU was launched, pioneering data center cooling solutions. By 2009, they deployed their first modular data center with adiabatic cooling tech, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability.
In 2013, their Phoenix facility expanded to 55,000 sq ft, enabling the development of SCIF-rated MDCs. In 2014, their Edmonton facility grew to 77,000 sq ft with over 500 employees, emphasizing quality and growth. Expansion continued in 2017 with a European presence and expanded facilities in Gilbert, AZ.

In 2021, Silent-Aire reached a new pinnacle as Johnson Controls, a global leader in building technologies and solutions, acquired the company.
