Company History: AERCO International, Inc. (AERCO) is a leading supplier of boilers and water-heating products. Founded by Henry Angelery in 1949, the company introduced a revolutionary design for an indirect-fired water heater that heated water on demand, without storage, at a controlled temperature. This innovation became the standard for water heaters. In 1988, AERCO became the first U.S. manufacturer to offer a fully modulating and condensing commercial gas-fired water heater and promptly extended this design to the hydronic boiler marketplace. Company News: By late May, AERCO
Company History: George Bryan founded Bryan Harvester Company in 1916 producing steam powered tractors, but the popularity of the gasoline engine forced Bryan to abandon the steam tractor in 1922. However, the bent water tube boiler, which powered the tractor, was extremely rugged, impervious to thermal shock, compact, and easy to service, making it ideal for other applications. Bryan Harvester became Bryan Steam LLC and began refining and marketing the original boiler for an array of uses. Company News: The exclusive Bryan

The Innovation’s durable high efficiency helical firetube heat exchanger is time tested to be impervious to thermal stress for an extended life. The all stainless steel construction maximizes longevity in the condensing application and the corrugated tubes increase effective heat transfer surface area for optimal thermal efficiencies up to 99%.
Benchmark family with the introduction of the Benchmark 1.0 (BMK 1.0) condensing, fully modulating boiler. The BMK 1.0 brings the field proven design of the Benchmark series, as well as an exceptionally small footprint, to projects requiring 1.0 million Btu/hr. Boiler Market Forecast: In 2010, AERCO saw a rise in high
efficiency boiler and water heater installations. It fully expects that trend to continue in 2011. We have seen very little in new construction; however, retrofit projects continue to see a steady growth. Contractor Benefits: AERCO provides the services and
expertise needed to meet the growing demand for energy efficiency in the commercial market. Our extensive product line of high efficiency boilers and waters heaters allow contractors to diversify their businesses with new applications and increase revenue. Additionally, AERCO provides tools to help facilitate site assessments, as well as online resources, warranties and after product installations kits that will accelerate their business growth and profitability.
“Flexible Water Tube” design provides extremely fast, natural internal circulation, resulting in maximum heat transfer and operating efficiency. Dependency on external pumps is eliminated.

Management Systems.
compared to last year due in part to a depressed commercial market in education and government projects from lack of funding. Long-term outlook is promising with an increase in sales as the market recovers. The continuing drive for energy efficiency will promote above average sales for the ultra high efficiency boiler products.
