The Air Movement and Control Association International (AMCA) is a not-for-profit international association of air system equipment manufacturers — primarily fans, louvers, dampers, and air curtains - used in commercial buildings and industrial processes. AMCA’s mission is to promote the health, growth, and integrity of the industry, consistent with the public interest. AMCA International is a valuable resource and a strong means of self-regulation for the air moving industry.  
 
Gustafson has worked for Hartzell for 24 years and has many accomplishments. Prior to his most recent position, he served as VP of engineering for 18 years. He was the champion of the design concept for the one-piece solid fiberglass wheel and was the principal author of the company’s most recent patent, which reduced the sound levels on its adjustable pitch low-pressure prop.

“Tom has served a leadership role at Hartzell for a number of years,” said Sean Steimle, Hartzell president. “His industry knowledge and reputation will be a tremendous asset to the AMCA International Board and the industrial air moving industry.”
