From the President’s Desk

An Experience

A good number of years ago I visited Pittsburgh for a long weekend with my wife.  While there, we visited the Andy Warhol Museum. After turning 30, I found myself drawn to art museums—perhaps a promising sign of maturity. Before that, I had little interest in art, and even now I’m not entirely sure what caused this shift besides the passing of time.  The Warhol Museum provides visitors with an up close and personal view of Warhol’s life as it pertains to his artwork. One interpretative exhibit resonated with me more than the others.

HPSL Fan for Scrubber System

This fan is a critical component of a dual-fan scrubber skid, designed specifically for environmental remediation. The end-user deploys it at contaminated sites to harness heat which penetrates deep into the earth to release harmful toxins in vapor form.

Why Buy from a Company that Loves to Weld? 

By Keith White, Jr.

In 2002, AirPro began with a toolbox and three engineers who faced many challenges—including welding: welding fell outside of our founders’ expertise. Because of this, our initial fan orders required partnerships with local weld shops, often resulting in quality below our standards. To address this, we hired a welder (who happened to be my uncle) and tasked our sales department with ensuring a consistent workload for him. Recognizing that welding expertise would drive our future success, we prioritized developing the best welders in the industry.
