Air Products and Controls Inc.
is a leading manufacturer of duct smoke
detectors and accessories, specialty controls, low voltage relays,
control relays, power supplies, PCB mounting and enclosure options.
These innovative top quality products are found nationwide in
HVAC, life safety, building automation, system integration, security
and lighting applications.
Air Products and Controls Inc.
was founded in 1982 as a distributor for
dampers and louvers used in HVAC systems. In 1984, Robert E. Skaggs
joined the company, and the business was expanded to manufacturing
duct smoke detectors.
Then, in 1988, the product offerings were
again enhanced with the addition of multi-voltage control relays.
In March 1999 the company was sold to Halma p.l.c., an English
conglomerate of more than 45 companies located across the globe.
Halma, a public company traded on the London Exchange, has a strong
growth history, fueled largely by key acquisitions of successful
businesses. Air Products' addition to the Halma Fire Division
has enhanced our business by helping develop key synergies with
divisional sister companies, Apollo Fire Detectors Ltd. and Fire
Fighting Enterprises Ltd.
