General Air Products was thrilled to take part in the United Association of Union Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Techs' ITP Week.

Ray Fremont Jr. was out in Ann Arbor, Michigan to present on Fire Protection Air Supplies & V***r Corrosion Inhibitors to the UA as part of their “Industry Day." Plus, we got to see our Riser Mounted Advance Series Compressors with our Digital Pressure Switch installed on the Apprentice Competition rigs — what a great event!

Many thanks to the UA for inviting us to participate!

🐷 This past Friday, all General Air Products employees cut out of work a little early...for our Annual Pig Roast!

Not only did we have the spit going, but our friends over at National Fire Sprinkler Association - NFSA joined us and brought along their Live Burn Trailer to give our employees some demos. And what General Air event is complete without some flamethrower action? Thanks to Jim McHugh over at AGF Manufacturing Inc. we turned up the heat and popped some Viking Group, Inc. sprinkler heads in the parking lot hooked up to an H2hOme™.

Not a bad afternoon, if we do say so ourselves!
