Apollo America Inc. is the formal company name, formerly Air
Products and Controls. Air Products and Controls remains as a brand under the new company name. Air Products and Controls was
founded in 1982 as a distributor for dampers and louvers
used in HVAC systems. In 1984, Robert E. Skaggs joined
the company, and the business was expanded to manufacturing
duct smoke detectors.
Then, in 1988, the product offerings
were again enhanced with the addition of multi-voltage
control relays. In March 1999 the company was sold to Halma
p.l.c., an English conglomerate of more than 45 companies
located across the globe. Halma, a public company traded
on the London Exchange, has a strong growth history, fueled
largely by key acquisitions of successful businesses. Air
Products' addition to the Halma Fire Division enhanced
our business and key synergies with divisional
sister companies, Apollo Fire Detectors Ltd. and Fire Fighting
Enterprises Ltd led to the incorporation of Apollo America in late 2011.
