Our founder, Kenneth H. Carpenter has been in the clean
air and laminar flow business since the very
early days of the industry. The original technique for
laminar flow workstations was developed by Willis J.
Whitfield of Sandia Corporation in 1961. The first two
laminar flow units were built for Sandia by
Agnew-Higgins during those initial years in the clean
air business. In 1967 his son, Ken R. “Kenny” Carpenter
joined his father at Agnew-Higgins as a cabinet maker
and began his long tradition of manufacturing clean-room
components.
In 1974 Ken senior set off to establish a new company
dedicated to manufacturing a quality, lower cost flow
workstation for all types of industries. He offered a
large line of standard configuration equipment and
Airtech’s reputation soon grew. Over the years, we have
helped both large and small companies resolve their
clean workstation problems with standard and custom
designs. At the time of Ken Sr.’s retirement, Kenny
assured management of the business and now maintains the
same strict dedication to quality control, customer
service, and on-time deliveries. |
