What Revcor does
Revcor is a US-based, family-owned manufacturer of airflow components founded in 1946 and headquartered in Carpentersville, Illinois, currently in its third generation of Reichwein family leadership. The company designs and produces three product families — fan blades (small one-piece, riveted condenser, and large commercial blades up to 75 inches), blower wheels (light, medium, heavy duty, and crossflow), and blower assemblies (housings, motorized assemblies, crossflow fans/blowers, and inlet rings) — that are integrated by OEM manufacturers into HVAC, refrigeration, heating, transportation, agriculture, appliance, food service, and ventilation equipment. Revcor operates two ISO 9001-registered manufacturing facilities: a 330,000+ sq. ft. plant in Carpentersville, Illinois that co-locates the corporate headquarters with a dedicated Airflow Tech Center, and a 100,000+ sq. ft. fully integrated plant in Reynosa, Mexico opened in 2006. The company monetizes through direct OEM sales of components priced on a unit basis (Standard Samples $35-$285, Custom Samples $75-$450) and outcome-based engineering services (Assess Projects $1,000-$20,000, Optimize Projects $3,500-$50,000, and multi-quarter Design Projects). Its go-to-motion is enterprise field sales where Sales Engineers work directly with customer engineering teams through a staged engagement — requirements definition, online RevAir Select product configuration, quick-ship sample ordering, and custom airflow projects — supported by proprietary test protocols (Airflow, FEA, Modal Analysis, Sound, Endurance, Witness testing) and an Airflow Tech Center. Revcor claims to have served 1,000+ OEM customers across 8 industry verticals, developed 100,000+ airflow solutions, and operate with world-class quality metrics of 48 defective parts per million and 98% on-time shipments. The company holds no external funding, is privately held, and is led by President & CEO John H. Reichwein, COO Brittany A. Reichwein (designated third-generation successor), and a leadership team including VPs of Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Finance/HR, and Sales/Marketing, plus a CIO focused on technology modernization.

Products and services
- Small Fan Blades (1 Piece) One-piece fan blades in diameters ranging from 4 to 14 inches, with or without a hub, designed for highly efficient and ultra-quiet operation in lower-stress, smaller diameter applications such as commercial refrigeration.
- Condenser Fan Blades (Riveted) Riveted condenser fan blades in diameters from 14 to 30 inches used in residential and commercial air conditioning units, large roof-top units, heat pumps, and gas/electric units.
- Large Fan Blades Large fan blades in diameters up to 75 inches engineered for high efficiency standards, long-life reliability, and quiet operation in commercial HVAC applications; feature thicker gauge material and rugged construction delivering the highest CFM/Watt ratings.
- Light Duty Blower Wheels Light duty strip blower wheels providing value and reliability for low-pressure applications; used extensively in commercial ovens and refrigeration such as walk-in freezers and coolers.
- Medium Duty Blower Wheels Tab-lock medium duty blower wheels used in furnace and space heater applications, walk-in coolers and freezers, convection ovens, and fireplaces.
- Heavy Duty Blower Wheels Heavy duty forward curved blower wheels designed for high pressure performance in rugged applications such as bus, rail, and refrigerated truck transportation.
- Crossflow Blower Wheels Crossflow blower wheels providing the quietest stream of airflow with maximum efficiency and reliability; used in air curtain applications, fireplaces, and packaged terminal air conditioning units (PTAC).
- Blower Housings Custom engineered blower housings designed to provide optimum airflow quietly and efficiently, used across virtually all served industries and applications.
- Blower Assemblies Custom designed motorized blower assemblies that move maximum airflow efficiently and quietly; many customers drop-ship their motors for assembly into OEM products assuring a finely tuned and well-balanced blower package.
- Crossflow Fans/Blowers Customizable small crossflow fans and blowers used in space-constrained applications such as fireplace inserts, space heaters, and food service equipment.
- Inlet Rings Inlet rings designed and configured to enhance the airflow performance of any blower wheel and housing assembly across all industries served.
