Our History

Texas AirSystems began as Marshall/Trim-Aire, a partnership formed in 1978 between Marshall Associates, Inc., and Trim-Aire, Inc. The principals of these two corporations, Marshall McGrain and Donald Trimmer, had been operating as separate manufacturer representative firms until this time. In the early 1980's, Sid Stokes and Dan Ruehs joined the firm as partners. In 1985, Mr. McGrain and Mr. Trimmer retired and shortly thereafter, Mr. Ruehs and Mr. Stokes incorporated the partnership and changed the name to Texas AirSystems. Mr. Stokes sold his ownership interest in the Company in 1988 and in 1990, Stan Perry joined the company as a partner and shareholder. In 2002, Mr. Ruehs and Mr. Perry sold Texas AirSystems to a partnership of employees including Jerry Braun, Tom Cooksey, Gary Fields, Buddy Pace, and Rusty Vaughn. At the end of 2003, Mr. Ruehs retired from his position as President of Texas AirSystems.
