Paxton Products is a manufacturer of industrial drying, blow-off, and air rinsing solutions, air delivery devices, and centrifugal blowers. The company pioneered the first centrifugal blower for commercial and industrial use in response to the 1970s energy crisis. It provides high-performance and energy-efficient air delivery systems, driving innovation in the industry. Originating from McCulloch Motor Company, it introduced the racing industry's first high-performance supercharger in 1957. As a subsidiary of ITW (Illinois Tool Works), it leverages a strong global foundation.PaxtonProductsisamanufacturerofindustrialdrying,blow-off,andairrinsingsolutions,airdeliverydevices,andcentrifugalblowers.Thecompanypioneeredthefirstcentrifugalblowerforcommercialandindustrialuseinresponsetothe1970senergycrisis.Itprovideshigh-performanceandenergy-efficientairdeliverysystems,drivinginnovationintheindustry.OriginatingfromMcCullochMotorCompany,itintroducedtheracingindustry'sfirsthigh-performancesuperchargerin1957.AsasubsidiaryofITW(IllinoisToolWorks),itleveragesastrongglobalfoundation.
