The Other Guys
Sometimes researching a manufacturing company to purchase goods from exposes marketing language that conveys an air of having “arrived,” as if the brand operates on a higher plane. The implication is that owning their products grants access to this exclusive realm of rarified air. This approach can feel off-putting, though the specific reason for this reaction can be difficult to articulate—the undeniable sentiment it evokes just feels off.
The shipment of any industrial fan represents a crucial last step in the manufacturing process because the customer desires timely delivery and an undamaged product. In this video we explain AirPro’s two options for managing shipping.

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.

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.
Welcome to AirPro

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.

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.

Stop By Our Industrial Fan Factory from Wherever You Are
As an essential business, we’ve stayed open and busy throughout the pandemic, but it’s been almost a year since we were able to host visitors at our fan manufacturing plant. We used to host customers here regularly and enjoyed showing them what goes into the centrifugal fans and blowers that end up in their industrial applications. But when we find a roadblock, we always find a way around it, and the solution on this one was simple enough: a video factory tour.
Fan selection software helps engineers select and specify a fan that will deliver the performance needed in the process application.
Waiting on fan manufacturers to get quotes back to you can be stressful. Frequently, you do not have the time — days or even hours — to wait for a quote. Fan buyers have another option though: Most industrial fan/blower companies offer fan selection software, available via the Internet on company websites, or offered as a program to be installed on your computer. No matter the source though, it is important to do two things before using the selection software to find the appropriate fan for your application.
AirPro’s story began in a humble 3,000 square foot building in the Old Industrial Park of Rhinelander, a small town in the frozen Wisconsin Northwoods. Founded by Keith White in 2002, AirPro has experienced consistent and exciting growth. In December 2014, we expanded once again.
