Lamson

Hoffman™ and Lamson™ brands of centrifugal blowers and exhausters are among the many compressed air and gas technologies manufactured by Gardner Denver Inc.

Part of the Nash Division, they are American originals. Hoffman™ and Lamson™ brands have been setting industry standards for excellence, reliability, and customer satisfaction for over 100 years. Lamson, established in 1880, and Hoffman, in 1905, are brands customers know and continue to trust.

The range of applications for Hoffman™ and Lamson™ centrifugal products is ever-expanding and is firmly illustrated with the largest installation base of centrifugal machines in operation worldwide. In the water treatment market, air is provided to water and wastewater aeration systems and air scouring/filter backwashing.

History of Hoffman & Lamson

Hoffman™ and Lamson™, once individual brands of centrifugal blowers and exhausters, joined the Gardner Denver Inc. family in 2001 and 1996 respectively, as part of the Gardner Denver Nash Division. Since then, Lamson, established in 1880, and Hoffman, established in 1905, have combined their comprehensive lines of centrifugal blowers and industrial central vacuum solutions. The experienced Hoffman™ and Lamson™ team, backed by years of research and development, provides effective, affordable solutions for a variety of applications.

Our ISO Quality Certified state-of-the-art LEAN manufacturing and testing facilities in Bentleyville, Pennsylvania USA and Boshan, China, produce engineered to order Hoffman and Lamson blower and exhauster packages for air and gas application needs with the most comprehensive product offering in the world. 22 high-performance models with flow ranges from 90 to 41,000 CFM (150 to 70,000 m³/h) and pressures to 22 psig (1.52 bar) and vacuum to 17.6 inHg (596 mbar).

Today, the legacy of Hoffman and Lamson blowers and exhausters lives stronger than ever. In a world of emerging and disappearing manufacturers, buying centrifugal technology may seem complicated, but Hoffman™ and Lamson™ brands make it simple.
