Setting the Standard in Air Engineering – Welcome to MAE Air Systems

For over four decades, MAE Air Systems Ltd. has been at the forefront of air-engineering solutions in Ireland. What began in Cork in 1978 as a modest engineering firm under the name MacAllister Engineering has evolved into a trusted industry leader specialising in dust extraction, central vacuum systems, pneumatic conveying, fume extraction and more. In 2014, the company rebranded under the name MAE Air Systems — a change which reflects its unwavering dedication to air-handling, vacuum and extraction technologies. (MAE Air Systems Ltd.)

Our mission remains simple yet ambitious: to design, manufacture, install, service and repair top-quality extraction and vacuum systems — empowering businesses across sectors to operate cleaner, safer and more efficiently.

Comprehensive Systems & Spares for Every Need

At MAE, we understand that no two workspaces are the same. That’s why we offer a wide range of systems and spares to meet diverse industrial requirements. From heavy-duty dust extraction plants to central vacuum solutions and fume-extraction arms, our catalogue is meticulously organised to help clients find exactly what they need. (MAE Air Systems Ltd.)

What we offer:

  • Dust extraction systems – Designed for industrial workshops, manufacturing facilities, woodworking shops and more.
  • Pneumatic conveying systems – Efficient material-handling solutions that simplify bulk material movement.
  • Central vacuum systems & spares – For clean, dust-free working environments in production lines, labs or commercial settings.
  • Fume extraction equipment – Hoods, down-draught tables, extraction arms and hose reels, ideal for workplaces dealing with hazardous fumes or particulate matter.
  • Plant & equipment – Including fans, blowers, exhausters, conveyors, valves, level control devices and aeration systems.
  • Replacement filters and ducting accessories – Everything from filter bags and cartridges to ducting, clamps, supports and flexible connections — all designed for durability and performance. (MAE Air Systems Ltd.)

Whether you’re setting up a new production line, revamping an existing facility or simply need maintenance and spare parts — MAE has you covered.

Design, Manufacture & Service — All Under One Roof

What sets MAE apart is our end-to-end approach. We don’t just supply off-the-shelf items. Instead, we design bespoke systems suited to your exact requirements, manufacture them with premium materials, install them on-site, and provide ongoing service and repair support as needed. (MAE Air Systems Ltd.)

This comprehensive model means that you’re not juggling multiple vendors. Instead, you get a single, accountable partner — from concept to maintenance — ensuring streamlined communication and high standards at every stage.

Our commitment to quality has earned us the trust of hundreds of Irish businesses across sectors. As one client from a bespoke furniture manufacturer put it:

“When we relocated our workshop, MAE guided us on the extraction requirements, designed a solution that worked for an awkward, low-ceiling space and executed the installation with high quality and tidy workmanship. We couldn’t be happier with the result.” (MAE Air Systems Ltd.)
