Manufacturing and Laboratory Facilities in the United States

BREAKING GROUND SINCE 1889: NYB MANUFACTURING AND TESTING FACILITIES 

The New York Blower Company has been expanding our operations in the 135+ years we've been building industrial fans. From our modest sheet-metal shop beginnings in Chicago, we have grown to be an international leader in the industrial fan marketplace. Our manufacturing and testing facilities are a major contributer to nyb's success in serving our customers. While each facility was opened with a specific purpose in mind, there is redundancy across all locations resulting in consistent systems and quality. In fact, every product offered by New York Blower can be manufactured in at least two locations and some cases, three, providing flexibility to our customers. Learn more about each location below. 


La Porte, IN - New York Blower's original location, which has been expanded on over nine times since 1918, now contains three manufacturing plants. With over 239,000 square feet between them, these plants manufacture a wide variety of nyb products including large catalog fans, fiberglass fans, and OEM products. La Porte is also the central location for New York Blower's Engineering and Quality departments which allows for consistent systems, drawings, and quality across all locations. 


Effingham, IL - In 2001 nyb experienced a shift in the manufacturing industry within the United States and saw a need to expand to other locations. As a result, nyb purchased a new facility in Effingham which allowed us to shift capacity to a new location while also accessing a new labor pool. Effingham primarily manufactures small catalog fans and OEM products. However, the facility has been expanded upon since originally being purchased, reaching 115,000 square feet of manufacturing space, to allow for large catalog and custom products to be manufactured in Effingham when necessary. 


Leitchfield, KY - In 2012 another facility was purchased to better serve customers in the Southeast and expand our product offerings. Leitchfield is the primary manufacturing location for plug fans and round fans such as our vaneaxial and tubeaxial product lines. However, Leitchfield is not limited to just these product lines. This facility greatly expands New York Blower's general catalog and OEM capbilities with over 81,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Leitchfield is also the first nyb facility purchased with additional land which can be used for future expansion. Watch our Leitchfield highlight video here


New Castle, PA - New York Blower's former subsidiary, MAS Air Systems, had been manufacturing fans in New Castle for several years prior to being acquired by nyb in 2009. That prior experience was extremely important when MAS Air was fully integrated into nyb operations and nyb started building a new facility in 2017. The 30,000 square-foot building is in addition to the existing 15,000 square-foot building, both of which are primarily focused on designing and building custom fans for industries such as petrochemical, nuclear, locomotive, gas turbine cooling modules, and refractories.

Philadelphia, MS - In 2022, New York Blower and sister company, KDS Windsor, opened a joint venture in Philadelphia, Mississippi. This facility, which has over 150,000 square-feet of manufacturing space and 100,000 square-feet of outdoor storage, is critical to the future growth of both nyb and KDS. The new location is centrally located within KDS Windsor's customer install base and further expands New York Blower's field service reach within the United States. Production in Philadelphia will primarily focus on Pressure Blower fans and components, unit heaters, new kilns, and kiln replacement parts. Watch our Philadelphia highlight video here


Testing Laboratory - Fan development and testing has always been integral to what New York Blower does and this facility in La Porte, IN is no exception. nyb's laboratory, which was expanded and redesigned in 2013, is the largest AMCA accredited lab in the United States at 39,000 square feet. The facility is home to six airflow test chambers, four Figure 12 chambers and two Figure 15 chambers, and two reverberant sound rooms, approximately 15,000 ft3 and 44,000 ft3. The lab's testing capabilities include fan testing up to 130,000 CFM (flow), 100" WC (pressure), and 400 BHP (horsepower). These testing capabilities will be extremely important as we navigate the testing procedures for fan energy regulations laid out by the Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission.
