ABOUT US |
| |
| Chicago Blower Corporation (CBC) manufactures many different
types of fans and blowers. Our products are used in heating,
ventilating, pollution control and air conditioning in
various applications such as helicopters, locomotives,
hospitals, steel mills, and processing plants just to name a
few. You can find our fans around the world in, for example,
the Sydney Opera House in Australia, the
Petronas Twin
Towers in Malaysia (the worlds tallest buildings), the
Pentagon, and in
Chicago on the elevated tracks with the
CTA,
at McCormick Place and in the
United Airlines terminal at
O'Hare. |
| |
| A defining moment in our history occurred in 1952 with an
engineering breakthrough. We were the first fan company to
design and sell, into commercial markets, a centrifugal fan
blade with an airfoil shape. This new shape meant that our
fans could produce the same airflow requirements as our
competition but with twenty percent less energy usage…and
they were quieter. The airfoil advantage lead to the
twenty-one basic product lines we have today which can be
manufactured in thousands of different combinations. |
| |
| Another milestone was reached in March 1998 when CBC became
certified to ISO 9001, an internationally recognized
standard for quality. |
| |
| The company was founded February 1947. What began with only
four employees in a small Chicago factory grew so that in
1952 the company was moved to
Franklin Park, Illinois where
it stayed for sixteen years. We outgrew that plant and in
1968 moved to our present location. We have so far expanded
the plant twice and own enough surrounding property to
expand many more times. |
| |
| Our
Glendale Heights plant is the center of CBC's operations
where Engineering, Fabrication, Inside Sales, Accounting,
Purchasing, and testing facilities are maintained. We have
over 100 manufacturers' representatives selling for us
throughout the United States and
Canada as well as
international licensees in twenty-nine other countries who
manufacture and sell our products. |
