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.
