Under the Cyclomade® brand we supply ventilation equipment across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, supporting hospitality venues, food producers, healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, education, retail and light industrial applications.
Our approach has always been practical. We manufacture equipment that installers trust, consultants specify with confidence and operators rely on every day. From exhaust fans and ductwork to stainless steel and honeycomb filters, our focus is on durable construction, consistent performance and real-world usability.
Based in Thomastown, we combine in-house sheetmetal fabrication, filter production and fan assembly into one integrated manufacturing operation. This structure gives us flexibility, fast turnaround and the ability to control the quality of every component that carries the Cyclomade® name.
Our equipment is known for being reliable, easy to install and capable of handling demanding conditions across a wide range of commercial environments. We work closely with installers, consultants and facility operators to ensure our products remain practical, compatible and future ready.
1947 – The beginning
1960 s – Rocket science meets kitchen exhaust
1996 – A new family custodian
2020 – Expanding into duct and filter manufacturing
2021 – Expansion to Thomastown
2025 – Growing our footprintCyclo Engineering is established in Coburg, Victoria, becoming one of the first Australian manufacturers dedicated to commercial kitchen exhaust equipment.
A visiting NASA engineer, George Lorette, works with Cyclo to refine the original fan and impeller designs. His aeronautical approach to airflow helps shape a new generation of more efficient, higher-pressure fans.
The Makris family acquires Cyclo Fans and relocates the business to Brunswick. Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s the range expands significantly, strengthening Cyclo’s reputation in commercial kitchen ventilation across Australia and neighbouring regions.
Cyclo International acquires Ticklay Engineering, bringing more than 25 years of Australian duct and filter manufacturing experience in-house. This investment allowed Cyclo International to locally manufacture commercial honeycomb and rangehood filters and ductwork alongside its established range of fans.
Cyclo International relocates from Brunswick to a larger manufacturing facility in Thomastown, improving workflow across fan, duct and filter production. During this period the Cyclomade® range expanded with the introduction of adjustable-pitch axial fans, APA mixed-flow fans, CVC and CIC centrifugal units and EC motor options.
Production commenced in our expanded Thomastown facility, bringing our sheetmetal team and new duct forming equipment under one roof. This expansion enabled the introduction of oval ducting into our extensive range and increased capacity for Cyclomade® fan, ductwork and filter manufacturing.
Cyclo International combines proven engineering with hands-on manufacturing experience. Our signature mixed-flow and centrifugal exhaust fans are built using galvanised steel casings, aluminium alloy impellers and motors protected from airstream contamination. Every unit is assembled locally and undergoes inspection and testing before dispatch.
Our production team includes long-standing fabricators and machinists who take pride in their workmanship. Many have been in the industry for decades, ensuring that each fan, duct section and filter is produced with consistency, accuracy and a practical understanding of how the equipment will be used on site.
With the addition of Ticklay Engineering, Cyclo International now delivers a complete Australian-made solution: fans, ductwork and commercial rangehood filters produced under one roof.
Cyclo International is built on a diverse and dedicated workforce. Our people bring a wide mix of skills, cultural backgrounds and real-world experience to the business, and many have been with us for decades. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail and pride in their work are central to the quality of every Cyclomade® product.
