For more than 40 years we have remained committed to producing the highest quality products while providing outstanding service that exceeds customer expectations. Hayward has earned an unsurpassed reputation for product design, manufacturing precision, quality assurance, experience and know-how, and total commitment to customer satisfaction and support. Hayward Industries was formed in 1923 by Irving M. Hayward. It was a small company, located in Brooklyn, NY, making specialty metal valves and industrial flow control products. When Mr. Hayward retired in 1964 the company was acquired by its present management.With that, a new period of growth and diversification began, one that continues to this day. Management realized an opportunity existed for plastic, rather than metal swimming pool filters and accessories, and diversified into the swimming pool market. Rapid growth in the pool business resulted in the creation of Hayward Pool Products, Inc. At the same time, through a combination of acquisitions, modernization of the manufacturing facilities and product innovations, the industrial plastic valve and pipeline strainer business grew as well - and became Hayward Flow Control Systems. When selecting plastic valves and process control products, consider the following: Reliable by Design Reliable by Design Hayward valves are designed using the latest state-of-the-art equipment. Our Computer Aided Design (CAD) system, linked to finite element software, provides accurate and essential stress analysis. Hayward valves are designed to be strong–with material where it counts. Pressure and prolonged operation will not fatigue Hayward valves. Thus, Hayward products provide years of maintenance-free service. Dependability Valve parts twist and turn in operation, and must fit precisely with a perfect seal. At Hayward, valve components are precision molded. However, when required, critical dimension valve parts are precision machined in areas such as o-ring grooves, seats, and ball surfaces. In either case, fine tolerances are maintained and, as a result, Hayward valves seal bubble tight and provide years of dependable service. Quality Hayward valves are 100% tested with the latest state-of-the-art testing equipment. Every Hayward product must pass pneumatic/hydrostatic tests before it is released for shipment. Our reputation for quality and reliability is unsurpassed. Hayward has been manufacturing thermoplastic valves since the beginning of the industry. Our commitment to, and support of, the industry is strong. In addition to a tradition of experience and know-how, Hayward also has a highly qualified field sales organization that provides customer assistance, training, and field support. Commitment Hayward remains committed to new product developments and innovative process technology that produces high quality, reliable products and to total customer satisfaction. We will continue to advance fluid process technology as the leading American manufacturer of industrial plastic valves and process control products.

Hartzell began manufacturing farm wagons in Western Ohio. Some 30 years later, John Hartzells grandson, Robert, joined the company after studying engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He was interested in aviation and often talked with Orville and Wilbur Wright and Glen Curtis when they came to Piqua to pick out straight-grained walnut lumber to make their propellers. Robert saw the possibilities in manufacturing propellers and hired a young engineer, Fred Charavay, to design a line of airfoil blades which would be hand-drawn from a laminated block of Hartzell walnut. From that point, and for the next 70 years, Hartzell Propeller would be an industry leader in the design and manufacture of aircraft propellers. Hartzell Fan, Inc. grew from the roots of the aircraft division when Chief Engineer Charavay placed an aircraft propeller in an industrial ventilation application in the early 1920s. The design was refined and Hartzell engineered the first propeller type fan. Hartzell has become the industrial ventilation expert producing high-qualifying, efficient, and innovative ventilation solutions. Hartzell Air Moving Products include fans for general and process ventilation with a complete line of axial, centrifugal fans and blowers, an extensive fiberglass product line, a complete line of make-up air and heating equipment and a full range of options and accessories. Ventilation solutions are applicable to numerous markets, such as: manufacturing and process industries, fossil power and co-generation, metals and mining, municipal (sewage treatment), on-board marine, and various OEM applications involving cooling, drying and circulating. Performance is designed in at Hartzell, and supported by heavy investment in research and development. A fully equipped, AMCA registered laboratory is one example of this commitment to excellence. Testing includes finite element analysis, sophisticated sound/vibration/fatigue analysis and fan performance on the wind tunnel. Quality is built into all Hartzell products. Advanced CNC machines turn out high-precision parts. Industrial duty materials are standard. Casings are continuously welded, not lock seam formed. Airfoil propellers are cast in Hartzells foundry, machined, and precision balanced. Every fan is run-tested before it leaves the plant. A nationwide organization of knowledgeable Sales Representatives will help you match your specific needs and requirements. For non-standard applications, Hartzell provides complete engineering support and full professional documentation.

Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked nights as a janitor, had an asthma problem. He called upon his inventors creativity to find a solution to the dust that aggravated his asthma as he swept up at night. Spangler gathered a tin soap box, a fan, a sateen pillow case and a broom handle, and assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this "suction sweeper," as he called it, had enormous sales potential, and he began seeking financial backing.W.H. "Boss" Hoover, owner of a leather goods manufacturing shop, bought the patent from Spangler in 1908, retained him as a partner, and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop.“Boss” Hoover placed a small ad in the Saturday Evening Post offering 10 days’ free use of a Hoover suction sweeper to anyone who wrote and requested it. Instead of sending the cleaner directly to the potential customer, he chose a reputable store in each city that customers could purchase from. He allowed store managers to keep any commission from a resulting sale, and then offered the store the opportunity to become a Hoover vacuum dealer. This laid the groundwork for a national dealer network which, to this day, continues to be an important channel of distribution for Hoover products. Meanwhile, engineers were designing new and improved methods of cleaning carpet. One of their most noteworthy innovations was the beater bar, introduced in 1926, which was the basis for one of the most memorable advertising slogans in history: "It beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans." Aided by strong suction, the metal bar gently tapped the carpet to loosen deeply embedded dirt, as a bristle brush rapidly swept dirt up and out of the carpet.Since then, the beater bar has gone through many tweaks and refinements and is still utilized in most Hoover vacuum cleaners today. Countless other "firsts" have been developed by Hoover engineers over the years to give consumers the most innovative and convenient features available. These include the disposable paper bag, the vacuum cleaner headlight, the self-propelled feature and the side-mounted hose feature.Today, Hoover is part of TTI Floor Care North America, headquartered in Glenwillow, OH. As a leader in the floor-care industry, Hoover manufactures quality, high-performance vacuum cleaners for home and commercial settings. Since 1908, consumers and businesses have trusted Hoover to provide reliable, innovative cleaning solutions. Hoover offers a comprehensive line of products for general and special-purpose vacuuming, including full-size uprights and canisters, deep cleaners and hard-floor cleaners.About TTI Floor Care North AmericaIn 2007, Techtronic Industries Co.

FastVision, LLC. was started in 2002 by both framegrabber and camera industry veterans who understand these requirements and have the goal of developing leading edge products that enable customers to work more efficiently and cost effectively. The opportunity that the current market offers is the general availability of high-speed and cost effective CMOS sensors, high-speed, low-power microprocessors, and FPGAs. Using these technologies enables FastVision to develop market leading products for the high-speed accelerated or “smart” camera markets. These markets have traditionally been served by proprietary products that are expensive, have limited real-time compute capabilities, and have restricted storage disk or memory space. The FastCamera Series of cameras and systems are the initial realizations of the concept of high-speed mega pixel digital camera systems, based on CMOS imagers. These cameras have a high-speed, scalable, integrated FPGA and memory subsystem which enables stand-alone high speed in-camera image processing. When integrated with a high powered framegrabber/coprocessor board, or a host subsystem, the resulting system capabilities can be expanded according to the compute needs of the user. In addition, this subsystem can be integrated with the newest disk technology to allow sustained real-time data acquisition to hard disk. Thus the FastCamera40 and FastCamera13 are the initial offerings of an new and innovative high-tech camera company.
