In 1950, William F. Feazell founded Alloy Propeller in Baltimore, Maryland. He developed a technique of fabricating large, steel fan propellers for use in the industrial market. Most of the heavy industrial propellers at that time were cast aluminum. Roof Ventilators, Mancooler Fans and Evaporative Condensers quickly began to incorporate his blades. As the Cooling tower industry emerged, his propellers were the fabricated blades of choice. In 1952, he moved his operation to Zelienople, PA where he improved and expanded his product lines, and immediately started Air Turbine Propeller Company. The company incorporated in 1970 and an ESOP program allowed employees to become owners in 1979.

As an employee owned company, Air Turbine benefits from an experienced work force, dedicated to providing superior quality and workmanship with a personal commitment to customer satisfaction. With a solid history of growth, plus the utilization of modern technology and research to create a reliable, efficient product, the employee owners look forward to remaining at the forefront of the ever-evolving HVAC&R market.

The strength of Air Turbine Propeller's management team is derived from a combination of top-notch administrative skills, a thorough knowledge of the technical aspects of the industry and strong sales support. The individual expertise of each team member and a common commitment to excellence results in a comprehensive approach to company decision-making.
