Vortox Inc forced out of Claremont, CA

Vortox Inc forced out of Claremont, CA

To our valued customers:

We are very happy to announce that the Vortox brand will be relocated in its entirety to Australia under the direction of SLS Group and that all product lines will continue to be manufactured. All equipment, tooling, engineering is in the process of being relocated to their facility in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia in a new 26,000 sq. ft. facility.

After being advised in late 2022 that our Claremont, CA premises were being redeveloped as part of the new residential/retail Village South, Vortox was faced with relocation after nearly 100 years on property. After evaluating the cost of local relocation, our research made it apparent that relocating here was not an option, and we began to meet with interested parties and discuss the various possibilities for Vortox’s future. While numerous parties were interested in various pieces of the Vortox product line, our primary concern for the customer was to ensure the continuation of all products without any compromise to quality and consistency. For nine months, Vortox Air Technology, Inc. and SLS Group have been in discussions and are finalizing the sales agreement for all assets to be relocated.

SLS Group was established in 2003 and is Australia’s leading manufacturer of premium aftermarket stainless steel truck accessories. Being a customer of Vortox Air Technology for fifteen years, the level of quality of products associated with the Vortox name equally parallels the known quality expected and delivered in the SLS Group product line. The SLS business motto of ‘Passion, Precision, Perfection’ aligns with our own philosophy to always make it better than everyone else by being ‘The Genuine Article’ and SLS is committed to continuing the consistent high-quality products that Vortox customers know and expect.

Relocating a manufacturing business to another country is no small task but nothing that nine months of planning and a dedicated group of passionate people with a drive to succeed cannot accomplish. To ensure success and maintain customer relationships, Vortox is committed to working side-by-side with the SLS Group by assisting in the transition both here in California and in Australia. With a hands-on approach of overseeing everything from the floor layout, equipment installation, employee training and equipment operation, Vortox and SLS will ensure that the products provided moving forward will meet the standards you have come to know.

Sincerely,

Kevin J. Myers
President
Vortox Air Technology, Inc.

WHAT ARE BREATHER CAPS?

Vortox Breather Caps are a filtering device designed for use on power transmissions and gear boxes.

WHAT DO BREATHER CAPS DO?

Breather Caps can be used in positive and negative pressure atmospheres. In negative pressure the breather cap filters out potentially harmful contaminants from the air stream. In a positive pressure the breather cap captured oily ambient air in the filter media, and once air flow is stopped, the captured oil is directed back to its source.

WHAT ARE THE MEDIA OPTIONS?

Vortox Breather Caps have three internal media options:
– Foam
– Woven Steel Wire
– Stainless Steel Wire/Mesh

WHAT STYLES ARE AVAILABLE?

Vortox Breather Caps come in five styles: DA, DB, DC, SS, and Dipstick.
DA Style – slip fit over an existing tube
DB Style – Male pipe thread fittings
DC Style – Female pipe thread fittings
SS Style – Select DB and DC styles available in Stainless Steel
Dipstick Style – Primarily slip fit style with fluid level indicator attached
