The Fedders Story

The new Fedders USA is  the legacy company of Fedders manufacturing company, founded in Buffalo, New York in 1896 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange as FJQ. 

Fedders MFG merged with Brooklyn, NY-based Frank J. Quigan company in 1945 and Fedders Quigan was born. Fedders introduced its first room air conditioner in 1946 and quickly established itself as the worlds largest selling brand, sources claim. 

Fedders Quigan was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1952 and the company changed its name to FEDDERS Corporation in 1959. 

Sources report that Fedders quickly became the worlds largest selling.

In 2008 Fedders filed for bankruptcy, which sources say was largely due to market forces beyond its control. The company was sold in pieces and the Fedders air conditioning brand was phased out in America. 

Today, Fedders is 100% American owned and FEDDERS-Quigan is a new company. It holds the FEDDERS United States trademark and sells products in America.
