Description

Smith Eastern began distributing turbine-operated HVLP paint spray guns for other manufacturers in the early 80 s. With the first shipments came the first complaints: slow application rate, poor finish quality, and inability to spray high-performance coatings and an electrical explosion hazard.

In 1998 AirVerter acquired the license from Northrop Grumman Corporation to build mobile air filtration equipment using Northrop s proprietary technology.
