Schmidt, Al's son, is at the helm of the company as VP/GM. Today, Fabco-Air has recently finished construction on a 50,000 sq. ft expansion to triple its size.
Fabco-Air has a dedicated workforce of 145 people with an average length of employment of over 15 years. Our engineering staff is ready to assist customers in any technical aspect of our business, seeing that 40% of our business is special products designed to customer specifications.
