More than 40 years ago founding engineer Owen John designed an air-conditioning system for his own Jaguar. In Australia at that time air-conditioning was generally considered a post-sale luxury item for cars and word spread amongst motoring enthusiasts about John’s high quality systems. Air International was formed in 1967 – supplying after-market demand for HVAC.

By 1979 the company had received its first commercial contract to develop and supply an automotive HVAC system for General Motors Holden in Australia.

In 1982 Air International listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and in 1990 became a subsidiary of Futuris Corporation.

In 1998 a complementary vehicle interiors division was
established by Futuris.
