Empire Ventilation Equipment Company announced today that it is opening a new manufacturing facility in Florida, New York. The 7,500 sq. ft. building is situated on a 2 acre site conveniently located near Rt. 17, a major New York State artery.

Founded over seventy years ago by brothers Robert and Thomas Abernethy, Empire is headquartered in Queens, New York. It manufactures ventilators and ventilator parts, including Turbine, Soffet, Flush Flange, and Eveco Ventilators as well as adjustable and fixed mounting, ridge roof bases and registers.

In addition to its standard line of ventilators, Empire manufactures an architectural line with ventilators made out of stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized and copper that are not only in demand by environmentally conscious customers they also appeal to those people looking for economy of operation

“We built our facility to meet the needs of today’s consumers,” said Brian Taylor, the company’s vice president. “They are much more concerned than ever before with buying products that are competitively priced, environmentally sound and affordable. Empire has lots of practice with that,” he continued, “long before China began making low priced products and shipping them to America we were making competitive, high quality ventilators that saved money and were green.”

Empire Ventilation Equipment Company announced today that it has compiled International Building Codes/Library containing information on venting closed spaces in building for 24 on a state-by-state basis. According to Brian Taylor, Vice President of The Long Island City, New York-based ventilator manufacturer, the company will continue to add to the library throughout the next year.

In explaining why the company set out to compile a building code library, Taylor said, “Empire frequently received questions regarding venting both open and closed spaces within buildings because the information was difficult to find. Not only were homeowners having problems locating the information, many professional builders were too. In the last few years it became more and more obvious to us that this type of resource was needed, so we built it for them.” Upon finishing his explanation, however, he cautioned users of the library to not to rely solely on Empire’s library, but to also contact their state or municipality to obtain specific technical or legal ventilating requirements that may apply in there area.

Empire manufactures a full line of ventilation equipment, including Eveco Ventilators, Insul-Ventilators, Syphon Ventilators and its famous Turbine Ventilators. In addition it offers: insect screens, louvers, adjustable and bases, strip vents and soffets, as well as ridge roof and adjustable bases, curb bases, slope roof bases, as well as cast iron brick/block vents and booster fans.

Long Island City, NY: Empire Ventila tion Equipment Company, Inc. reported today that sales of its ventilation equipment continue flow at a robust pace. The Queens, New York-based manufacturer was founded over sixty years ago by brothers Robert and Thomas Abernethy in the basement of their Long Island City home. Shortly before both brothers were called to serve their country in World War II, they moved the business to its present location on Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City.

“Sales have remained steady in spite of the recession,” says George Taylor, the company’s president. “That is probably because our products are cost-effective and green,” he continues, “We even have architectural lines made out of copper and stainless steel that are not only in demand by environmentally conscious customers they also appeal to those people looking for economy of operation .”

Empire Ventilation Equipment Co. announced today that it’s expanding its line of high quality louvers to include three new vent models: cast aluminum brick/block vents, extruded aluminum vents, and flange extruded vents.

These vents are smaller than regular louvers. Traditionally, their main use has been in commercial buildings. But over the past few years, they’ve been “discovered” by architects and engineers who have increasingly begun to use them for residences. “Their size can be customized and they come in a variety of materials and colors,” says Brian Taylor, Vice President and Secretary of Empire Ventilation Equipment. “That presents an advantage to designers who are endeavoring to find smaller louvers that are attractive looking and compatible with the decor of the home.”

“Structurally, they’re also much stronger than those available at hardware stores,” Taylor adds. “Like all the rest of our products, these cast aluminum brick/block vents, extruded aluminum vents, and flange extruded vents are constructed from over 90% recyclable materials.”

Empire Ventilation Equipment Company is a Long Island City, New York -based manufacturing company. It has been supplying customers with some of the best known and highly regarded ventilator products such as turbine vents, siphon vents, and louvers for over seventy years. Founded in 1933 by two brothers who went on to serve in World War II, the business continues to be family-owned through the present day.

Empire Ventilation is pleased to announce that manufacturing in America is still good business. There was a time when one could say “Made in America” and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Nowadays though, an ever increasing number of domestic businesses, driven by the hope of saving money, have decided to import goods made in foreign countries. But, there are still some companies that choose to make their products here.

According to its management, one of the best examples of this is Empire Ventilation Equipment Company. Empire is a New York based manufacturer that has been supplying customers with some of the best known and highly regarded ventilator products such as turbine vents, siphon vents, louvers for over seventy years. Founded by two brothers, who, in 1933 went on to serve in World War II, the business continues to be family–owned through the present day.

“We never set out to restore people’s confidence in buying domestic products, but we’re delighted that our loyalty to the U.S. is reflected in the choices we’ve made to use high quality materials and manufacture our products here,” says Brian Taylor, Vice President and Secretary of Empire. “It obviously makes good business sense, too, because the materials we use are very cost-efficient. So, we can price our equipment competitively, customers are happy with the quality and everybody wins.”

“Empire not only manufactures its ventilator products in America, many of the materials we use to construct our ventilators and ventilator parts are made from recyclable materials” says George Taylor, the president of the company.

Whatever one’s stance on global warming happens to be, rising temperatures are driving everyone to find the best way to cool homes down. Today’s customers are more concerned than ever before with buying products that are environmentally sound and affordable. But long before the need for “green” technology was defined, turbine vents were being made and sold, and consumers were ahead of the game – saving money and being ecologically responsible.

These ventilators are energy efficient. They’re wind and convection driven, requiring no man-made fuel at all. In addition to functionality, designers find them appealing because they can be made in stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized and copper.

“We’ve seen a sharp rise in turbine ventilator sales in the last several years,” says Brian Taylor of Empire Ventilation Equipment, a New York based company which has been in business for over sixty years. Though turbine vents have been on the market for decades, the growing focus on solving environmental challenges has made them something of a rediscovery. “Customers are looking to go “green” and we help them save fuel and money at the same time,” Taylor adds. “We’re very proud of the fact that more than 95 % of our products are environmentally friendly and fashioned out of recycled and recyclable metals.”
