Alton - B.P. Edelman and A. Ward Thornton formed Alton Manufacturing Company in Dallas, TX in 1945. The "Air Champ", Alton's first manufactured product, introduced many innovations to evaporative cooling, including Turbo-spray water distribution, galvanized metal construction, and double sets of cooling pads. Early installations targeted churches, department stores, grocery stores, and movie theaters.

Acquired by Mestek in 1986, Alton today manufactures heavy duty, high quality air conditioning and air cooling systems for medium and large industrial and retail establishments nationwide. The company has earned a reputation for durable, dependable systems in three major product lines: roof-mounted self-contained air conditioning equipment, combination air-cooling make-up heating units, and heavy duty industrial "Air Washer" evaporative cooling systems. Alton's evaporative cooling systems minimize or eliminate the need for ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).

Americraft - Americraft manufactured its first fans in 1946 and sold them to other companies that marketed the fans under their own name. (This practice is commonly known as private branding.) For the next 37 years, all fans manufactured by Americraft were sold under private labeling agreements. In 1983, we introduced ourselves to the public, selling fans under the Americraft name. Today, Americraft catalogs nineteen various fan models in sizes ranging from 12" to 60" in diameter. Nearly one half of the shipments are specially built to our customer's specifications. Americraft fans are in all fifty states and as far away as South America and Saudi Arabia. Our manufacturing facilities have grown to two plants totaling more than 50,000 square feet. This expansion allows us to accommodate new private brand customers and the steadily increasing number of customers buying Americraft products.

Orion Lighting(contact B&B Energy) "We've Taken Efficiency to New Heights."

Traditional metal halide lamps are inefficient and provide minimum light at maximum expense. Orion Energy systems makes traditional lighting obsolete by maximizing foot candles(light on the work surface) and using half the energy. Our High Bay T-5HO fluorescent lighting systems maintain up to 95% of their initial lumens over their rated life while metal halide lose one-third of their initial lumenss in just 40% of their rated life. The combination of Orion unique reflector designs and energy-saving Orion T-5 lamps increases lighting efficiency by providing both superior light and significant savings.

One Size Does Not Fit All

Orion High Bay fluorescent fixtures combine highly efficient T-5 lamps and proprietary reflectors in a variety of beam spreads. This variety of beam widths allows for focused light in application mounting heights ranging from 15' to over 100'. Our state of the art technology increases overall efficiency by producing a superior fixture while reducing waste, providing light where it is needed most.

Our various lamp configurations are designed to deliver improved lighting and significant savings.
