Sticky Business
“Fans are sticky business, make your customers happy and they will stick with you,” quips Jeff Jost, the newest member of AirPro’s outside sales force. Jeff recently sat down with AirPro to tell us about what motivates him to sell industrial fans, sharing some of his trade secrets and what pitfalls to avoid as a salesperson.

Typically in manufacturing, a customer purchases a product and the vendor agrees to ship that product by a certain date. Seems like a simple business-to-business transaction, right? Unfortunately, for anyone involved in manufacturing for any length of time we know things do not always proceed this way. Sometimes on-time delivery feels more like the exception than the rule, and at AirPro that’s not good enough for us.
AirPro is excited to spotlight this custom pressure blower our engineers designed for a biochar processing facility in Texas. This P10A size 250 recirculates piping hot air (1,400ºF!) as part of the pyrolysis process to make biochar.

Most people have experienced the keen frustration of slow response times from a business or vendor. Send an inquiry and wait two weeks just for an automated response. It’s particularly frustrating when the customer wants to place an order. The order cycle seems universal to most industries and businesses, but moving through it efficiently does not always happen.
Effective July 1, 2024, AirPro has discontinued its HP(RL/RM/SL/SM) fan sizes less than 30” in diameter. AirPro’s recently designed P## fans in the same size period are better technology— and better for AirPro to build — while also meeting the performance requirements that the HP fans meet.
Introducing AirPro’s new Forever Fan System—a standalone pedestal mounted vibration and temperature monitoring system our engineers developed to help end-users avoid downtime, extend the operational life of their fans, and reduce operating costs.

Successful businesses are often born out of trials. AirPro Fan & Blower manufactures some of the finest industrial fans on the market today. Our 21-year history includes trial and error, setbacks, and unintended failures to bring us this far as a company. As C.S. Lewis once quipped, “Failures are fingerposts on the road to achievement.” Our failures have helped us grow as a company and have enriched our company culture. And now, as a 100% ESOP—a company with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan—failure plays a key role in our success because we do not like to fail.
