Since Weaver started at what at the time was Bradbury Group's only location, the company has grown to 13 operating entities in six countries with 750 employees.

B&I was founded in 1960 by Gordon Harbuck. Gordon was a plumber and pipe fitter who learned his trade while serving in the United States Navy.

In my opinion, the ‘80s saw the most significant development in HVAC duct fabrication of any during the past half-century. Here's why.

Saving labor was a priority in the 1970s as much it is today. One of the biggest developments in the ‘70s (and ‘80s) came from transitioning away from fabricating rectangular sheet metal duct “straights” using galvanized sheet stock, instead using 12,000 pound, 48” and 60” coils. 

With 80% of its annual sales volume in commercial and industrial ventilation, Poynter Sheet Metal is on a mission to diversify its revenue streams.  

With the opportunity to build on a blank slate, Hooper has dedicated more space to prefabrication for ductwork and other sheet metal projects.

Machining is the most common way of creating parts in the metal industry. Different types of machining can be used in different circumstances.

Hooper Corporation, the specialty electric power and mechanical contractor headquartered in Madison since 1913, recently announced it is moving to a brand-new campus located on 50 acres in DeForest, Wisc.

Hranec is expanding into roof curb and rail markets with a new facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

As OEMs pursue cleaner energy and higher heating/cooling efficiencies, HVAC technology is becoming more and more intricate, requiring high-quality precision welds in their fabrication.
