General Air Products, Inc. has been a trusted name in the fire protection and industrial equipment sectors since its founding in 1936. Initially established as General Blower Company, the firm began its journey by manufacturing soot blowers and draft fans in the Greater Philadelphia area. Over the decades, the company has expanded its product offerings, significantly contributing to the compressed air industry by introducing air compressors for laundry equipment and fire protection applications in the 1950s. As the industry dynamics evolved, so did General Blower, ultimately rebranding to General Air Products in the 1990s to better reflect its diverse range of offerings including fluid processing equipment and custom applications for the fire protection market.
With more than 85 years of experience, General Air Products specializes in manufacturing air compressors, chillers, pumping stations, nitrogen generators, and innovative solutions like the Dry Air Pac—an essential compressor/dryer package tailored for dry pipe and pre-action fire sprinkler systems. The company has established itself as a leader by continually adapting to technological advancements to meet the increasingly complex demands of the fire protection industry.
Today, under the stewardship of the fourth generation of the founding family, General Air Products sticks to its legacy of quality and service. The firm is committed to providing the most reliable products and unparalleled technical support for the entire lifecycle of its equipment. The company prides itself on delivering tailored solutions to address unique industrial challenges, making it a go-to authority for fire protection and industrial machinery across various sectors.
