Our Story
John Moffitt & Bill Moffitt. 2012
Over the last sixty years Moffitt has grown from a one-man operation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to a large company with team members throughout North America. Founded by Bill Moffitt in 1961, the company then known as Moffitt Corporation provided ventilation equipment to steel mills and foundries around Pittsburgh and the Northeast United States. The Moffitt name was known amongst the steel industry for its gravity ventilators, superior service, and dedication to finding the right ventilation solution.
John Moffitt, son of founder Bill Moffitt, carries on his father's legacy as President of Moffitt. John has inherited Bill's passion for industrial ventilation and dedication to ensure that the customer is completely satisfied. John leads Moffitt from the corporate headquarters in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Alongside his ever-growing team, John continues to spread the message of better ventilation solutions.
The Discovery of Natural Ventilation
Moffitt began to offer ventilation contracting services in 2005 with the founding of the Moffitt installation division. This enabled Moffitt to offer complete turn-key installation services and become a one-stop-shop for ventilation.
A steady footing in production and installation allowed Moffitt to refocus on market expansion throughout the U.S. by establishing a system of local field offices throughout the country.
Throughout the next decade Moffitt then continued to expand its product line, installation services, and worldwide sales reach. In 2016 Moffitt opened its newest factory in Denison, TX. Then, in 2020, Moffitt expansion went into high gear as new Moffitt District Sales Managers joined the team across North America.
