By 2007, we had outgrown the shop and decided to move to our current 51,000 square foot plant location in Gallatin, Tennessee, about 30 miles north of the Nash- ville airport. Since then, we’ve added a 5,000 square foot warehouse to store equipment that we remanufacture with a warranty for some savings for our customers.

My philosophy about serving our customers and mak- ing a solid business has changed very little over the years. The main points of this philosophy are: • Our systems must work reliably, and we must stand behind our work to build confidence within our mar- ketplace. Walking away from a problem and leaving the customer with a problem is not an option. Some of our competitors have a history of walking away and re-forming under a new name. That approach is not an option at Puhl. • The latest fad in new designs for systems to save money isn’t always a good idea or a new idea. Sever- al designs advertised today in the market claim to be “new” and “market changing,” however being around 40 years, I remember what was previously tried and ultimately didn’t work so well. There is no free lunch in cost savings unless there are real changes in the tech- nology. Dust collection has recently become one of those areas where an old design has been resurrected but the technology and the physics have not changed. The result is a less than satisfied customer. • NFPA and OSHA codes are not going away, and they are not going to get “easier.” Our systems are designed with this in mind to minimize the chances of an OSHA inspector issuing fines or worse, shutting our custom- er’s operation down. Our systems pass FM Global and can be UL listed as an optional upgrade. • Planning for the future is always a good idea when it comes to buying a system. There is no time like the present to plan for some expansion capacity in a new system as up-front the cost per CFM of air is the least when you plan ahead.
