Corporate Overview

Company Overview Brochure

Crawford Company is guided today, as it has been for over 50 years, by Crawford's original values: a commitment to product quality, customer service, innovation, business integrity, and a high regard for individual contributions.  The company, founded by Harvey Crawford in 1952, has grown from a small shop to a thriving corporation that looks to carry its momentum into the years ahead.

Crawford specializes in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, laser cutting, specialty welded fabrication, and custom architectural products.  Crawford products and services are found within commercial, industrial, and residential markets. Crawford's foundation was built in the residential heating and cooling market.  Over time Crawford moved into the commercial heating and cooling market and into specialty fabrication. 

The company, presently, has five divisions: residential/service heating and cooling, commercial heating and cooling, specialty welded fabrication, custom architectural projects, and laser cutting.  Crawford also holds affiliations with two subsidiaries: MONOXIVENT and MILLSTREET.

Crawford has grown, most notably, since 1990.  The company has expanded by over 37,000-square feet during the period, while increasing sales and adding personnel.  The company was named to the 2003 Quad-City Business Journal's "Fast 50", a listing recognizing the fastest growing companies in the area.


Crawford operates out of a 47,000-square foot facility on Mill Street in Rock Island's Sunset Business Park.  The location has served as corporate headquarters since 1964.  Bob Frink serves as Crawford's president, a position he has held since 1976.  Jim Maynard Jr., and Ian Frink round out the management team.  Crawford has one vice-president emeritus, Jim Maynard Sr.
