Armstrong
Limited, a leading supplier of quality, high-efficiency HVAC and fluid-handling
equipment for residential, commercial and industrial applications is proud to
announce the company is celebrating its 75th year of operations.
Samuel
Allan Armstrong founded the company in 1934 in the midst of The Great
Depression. From there, under the leadership of
James A.C. Armstrong,
Samuel’s son, the company grew from one manufacturing facility to include
plants around the world. James Armstrong established the future direction of
the company by investing in new technologies and expanding the company into new
markets. In 1990, James passed the company to his two sons,
Charles
and
Jim Armstrong.
Now a
third-generation family-owned business, Armstrong’s presence in the HVAC market
has extended far beyond the borders of its North American roots. The company
has survived four major recessions, and grown to become a leader in the
industry. Armstrong was one of the first to offer the vertical in-line
pump (1969). Years later, the company was among the first to introduce
sensorless pump control (1997).
Armstrong
is now leading the HVAC industry with its
ECO:nomics
sustainability platform and Design Envelope solutions. These
solutions include both products and services, designed to save on capital and
energy costs. Charles Armstrong, the company’s president, is a passionate
supporter of sustainability and carbon reduction initiatives. He has rallied
the organization around the ECO:nomics platform, and lent his expertise to
establishing the position of a lower carbon footprint at no extra cost. This
statement has become the tagline for Armstrong’s new ECO:nomics platform.
One
example of ECO:nomics is a recent project done at Humber
College in Toronto, Canada.
The College needed to replace its aging and outdated chiller plant, and meet its
commitment to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases. To meet these
requirements, the College chose to install the Armstrong Integrated Plant
Control (IPC 11550) with Hartman LOOP ™ Technology and two pre-fabricated pump
stations. The College’s Maintenance and Operations Manager reports the new
HVAC system saved the College close to 50% in energy consumption and over
$100,000 in combined energy and operational costs, over a one-year
period.
