Einstein eloquently described the distinction between deliberations in science ver-
sus that of engineering by suggesting scientists investigate that which already is,
but engineers, he said, create that which has never been. For more than fifty years,
one company’s expertise in the engineering of metal products has not only helped
transform life as we know it, but in some applications, has also played a crucial role
in the sustaining of life. At the intersection of science and engineering, this com-
pany’s capability, quality and precision has been pivotal in producing a variety of
things that already are, but rest assured, those same attributes are essential in the
creating of things to come.
As an industry leading provider of sheet
metal design, engineering and fabrication
services, Airtronics reputation may have
been born from its long fixated support to
tech firms operating near its Silicon Val-
ley headquarters of San Jose, but today,
Airtronics’ expertise augments innovations
in a range of other industries, from health-
care and energy to transportation and even,
oddly enough, mobile meal operations.
That range of market penetration has not
only been prompted from the range of ser-
vices that Airtronics galvanizes under one
roof, but its reliance on some of the most
skilled mechanical designers and experts in
CAD-based engineering, state-of-the-art
manufacturing processes which deploy ro-
botics and computerized production sys-
tems, and the industry’s most extensive re-
source of tools for forming, stamping and
bending all varieties of sheet metal parts.
Those capabilities are complemented by an
uncompromising commitment to quality.
As a testament to its precision standards,
