The company designs, engineers, and fabricates fully customized air handling units (AHUs) and computer room air handlers (CRAHs) from two Massachusetts facilities totaling over 110,000 sq. ft. on a two-acre campus in Randolph and Georgetown. Core manufacturing capabilities include precision sheet metal fabrication using a Prima Power automated system, structural welding, CNC and press brake operations, CAD/3D modeling, and assembly with OEM components from partners including AAF International, Aerofin, ebmpapst, Greenheck, Delta Controls, and Belimo.

The company sells through a curated network of seven regional distributors covering 14 states across New England, the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio, and the Southeast, supplemented by direct corporate sales for AHU projects outside distributor regions. Standard products ship in 1-3 weeks; custom orders are quote-based with confirmed lead times. Target end-markets span commercial offices, data centers, healthcare, life science, higher education, industrial, pharmaceutical, institutional, manufacturing, and consumer manufacturing. Recent operational moves include the addition of the Prima Power automated sheet metal system and senior leadership hires in 2024-2025 across finance/technology (CFO+CIO), safety/quality (EVP), and marketing (VP), signaling continued investment in professionalization and capacity.
