Hauslane, a worldwide range hood company, has ranked in San Francisco Business Times’ Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area list. Calvin Ruan (roo-AHN), the co-founder and CEO of Hauslane, was recognized during the Top 100 Award Ceremony in San Francisco, on October 20, where the brand was listed as the 21st fastest growing company in the San Francisco Bay Area for 2022.
“When I founded Hauslane, I envisioned it as more than just an appliance brand,” says Ruan. “I saw it as a leader in the category for providing top-tier education, service and products that empower people to experience the kitchen in a whole new way. To see this dream come to fruition over the last four years and now be recognized alongside some of the Bay Area’s most influential brands is a true honor.”
From its establishment in 2018, Hauslane has modernized the kitchen ventilation industry by offering high quality range hoods at attainable prices. Under Ruan’s leadership, the brand found early success in the digital space with a direct-to-consumer pathway that includes major online retailers such as Amazon, Wayfair, Lowes.com and HomeDepot.com. The brand has recently expanded into the brick-and-mortar space with new opportunities to establish a presence in showrooms across the United States.
