About Us
So much has changed since we began in 1954 as a struggling two-man sheet metal shop. From the start, it was our intention to provide dust collection systems for the booming furniture manufacturers at the time. We quickly developed into a major supplier of the design, fabrication, installation and service of industrial dust collection systems in the Mid-Atlantic region for the furniture manufacturing giants of the 60’s through the 80’s. Any industry generating wood dust and shavings became customers, including lumber, flooring, paneling, cabinetry, window and door, wood flour and more.
In the mid-1970’s, we developed our own line of industrial air system component parts, airlocks, fans and cyclones for our use, and new system designs, replacement parts and retrofits for customers. As the U.S. manufacturing climate and customers’ needs began to change in the 1990’s, so did we. Design and fabrication methods were adapted to meet the requirements of evolving and emerging industries with industry specific custom fabrication.
We have evolved from servicing strictly the wood and furniture industries to include paper, rubber, printing and publishing, plastics, pharmaceuticals, grain, brick, foam rubber and, more recently, robotics, thermal oxidation and alternative fuels.
Over the years, we have established and sustained strong relationships with hundreds of our customers who have been historically rated in the top 100 of their industry class. Typically, these customers are family-owned and -operated businesses, and we’ve been very fortunate to have provided several generations with years of service.
Likewise, we have grown to become a family-owned and operated business today. Our journey has taken us from servicing the Mid-Atlantic region in the beginning, to the Midwest, to nationwide, to North America, and now to global markets.
We are committed to quality, to our customers, to our employees, and to the future. We are excited to accept each new challenge our customers present, and to always be there with the best solutions we can offer in the years ahead.
