Behind Marine Air Flow

The evolution of MAFI

Marine Air Flow's owners have been involved in the marine industry for over 30 years.


Initially involved in the boat building industry in Western Australia, Brad Marsden (our Director) moved to Queensland in 1994. Based in Cairns he then took on the role of workshop manager for a local company that built semi submersibles for international export, and aluminium vessels for the tourism industry. 


After 2½ years with this company, Brad was invited to project manage a large architectural glazing project in Singapore. This gave him the chance to combine two of his favoured mediums, glass and stainless steel. Upon completion of this project, Brad returned to Cairns and with his wife Jenny, started a local business that was responsible for specialist refit services for the marine industry. While it was a very successful business, any refit or repair business can be very stressful and often involves 6 or 7 days a week routinely.


After selling that business in 2004, at Jenny's insistance, Brad went fishing for a year. Literally! Every Monday night Brad and his mate Rod would head down to Kuramine Beach (south of Cairns) for 2½ days of fishing and golf. It was during this time that Brad started to think about what he might do next.


Always knowing he would stay in the marine industry, Brad wanted his focus to be a business style that avoided the time constraints and stress that doing marine refits gives you. Having had to develop their own ventilation equipment for refit clients  through 1990-2004 gave Brad a unique insight into what could be an emerging marine market. After a decent amount of research it became clear that there was a market for Australian made, affordable, long lasting engine room grilles, air dampers (fire flaps) and fans, and Marine Air Flow was born.
