Active Ventilation Products, Inc. Celebrates 20 Years in Business

NEWBURGH, N.Y. - March 3, 2017 - PRLog -- Active Ventilation Products Inc. (AVP) is proud to announce its twentieth year as a leading designer and manufacturer of roof exhaust and intake vents. As an independent company, AVP has proven itself to be among the foremost innovators within the roof ventilation industry, selling to national chain distributors across the US as well as to major online retailers such as Homedepot.com, Walmart.com, Ebay.com, and Amazon.com.

The company is led by the original founders, brothers Martin and Ethan Kolt, and has maintained its privately-held ownership throughout its history. This has allowed the company to control many key strategic decisions. "Being able to manage the entire process in-house from product design to production has been a cornerstone of our success over the past 20 years," says AVP's founder, Martin Kolt. "We have over 200 metal working machines, a full spinning department, a tool and die department, as well as our own powder coating system, housed in a 63,000 sq. foot factory based in Newburgh, New York. We are proud to be among the few companies who still manufacture and assemble products in America" says Kolt who remembers starting out with only a handful of employees. AVP now employs over 40 workers full-time and considers going to a second shift by second or third quarter of 2017.

AVP began operations in February 1997 when Kolt released the Aura Ventilator™, the industry's first roof ventilator that moved air like a turbine but still had no moving parts. The Aura Vent, a patented design by Stanley Kolt (Martin and Ethan's father), provides customers a durable, no maintenance, rust-free aluminum vent that is engineered to surpass the traditional turbine vents. Turbine vents have issues with their aging bearings, which causes its function and weather protection to diminish over time, whereas the Aura Ventilator does not. The Aura Vent's patented louver design creates the Venturi Effect, which is accomplished when wind passes through the louvers, causing the air to spin (not the vent), thus creating suction which pull heat and moisture out from the attic.

The early success of AVP's flagship product, the Aura Vent, was an indicator of a growing demand for quality made roof exhaust vents. "Our company is highly focused on innovation – we are able to launch and refine product lines with our in-house team very easily which helps us maintain a competitive edge within the market," states Martin. Today, AVP's portfolio has expanded to include Solar Fans, Electric Fans, Roof Louvers, Residential Roof Vents, Commercial Roof Vents, Dormer Vents, Soffit Vents, PVC Vent Caps, Vent Pipe Rain Caps, Breather Vents, Plumbing Vents, Curb Mount Flange & Roof Curbs amongst other roof accessories.

As an ongoing commitment to quality, AVP is in the process of certifying all product lines with the Underwriter Laboratories (UL). "Being UL certified will assist in guaranteeing our product's specifications will be upheld. We want prospective and existing clients to have an even stronger sense of confidence in our products in the years to come," states Martin. AVP provides architects, engineers, contractors, distributors and homeowners with economical ways to properly ventilate both commercial and residential structures.
