Fans are used in a number of production processes—they play a key role, for example, in extracting gases, cooling down materials or transporting solids at the heart of ventilation systems. Elektror airsystems, headquartered in Ostfildern, Germany, and with two production sites in Waghäusel (Germany) and Chorzów (Poland), is one of the international leaders in the manufacturing of industrial fans and side channel compressors. About 60,000 devices are produced here every year.
