AIR Company began in 1980 under the guidance of owners Greta Heida and Stacy Bock. It started with a brilliant new product idea from a Bay Area artist who needed a sales agent, who then told another creator who needed sales help, who told another craftsperson, and AIR Company (Artists In Residence) took off from there. Having serviced all of Northern California themselves in the early days, Greta and Stacy understand first hand the retail strengths and challenges of the entire territory. We continue our hands on approach through our talented sales team, as our industry evolves.

Our product collection speaks to the style and innovation that surrounds us in Northern California. We have product appropriate for a diverse customer base, from gourmet grocery accounts to fine stationery and gift stores. We also work with some of the largest key accounts in the country.

We pride ourselves on being the best link possible between our vendors and retailers when it comes to response time, order processing, and problem solving. Our sales team understands the need to be fully engaged in their territory, paying regular visits to their accounts, and being in front of their buyers as often as possible. Our sales team covers Northern California and Northern Nevada.
