Our story at Airguard is built on family, community, and a shared passion for making a difference in the lives of farmers.
It all began in 1952 when the Cruson family moved from the Netherlands and opened a small blacksmith shop. Two generations later what started as a dream for Brian and Kim Cruson quickly became a family effort. With their kids, Kathleen and Claire, they worked side by side to create something meaningful, pouring their time, energy, and hearts into every part of the business—from assembling parts to managing inventory and even learning to weld.
Cruson Family, 2024
As the years passed, we grew, but one thing has stayed constant: our dedication to supporting farmers in their seeding journey. Today, with a warehouse full of products and a talented team behind us, Airguard is stronger than ever.
Brian Cruson (CEO & Director of Research and Development)
Led by Brian, our small but mighty team is focused on delivering top-notch service and quality. We take pride in getting products to our customers on time and within budget. From continuous product innovation to our in-house laser cutting machines, our headquarters is where ideas come to life—and quality control is always top priority. Every product we create is made with care and precision to meet our high standards.
