AIR-N-ARC About The Company

---

Mission Statement: The purpose of Air N Arc manufacturing facility is to produce high-quality, innovative, portable power systems for service trucks and construction equipment. We strive to create power system equipment as compact and user-friendly as possible.

While Kristopher Kessler was farming at Scott City, Kansas in the Western plains of the U.S.A., his farm equipment sometimes broke down. Many times, nuts needed to be loosened, metal needed to be patched, and pieces fitted with a grinder, all in the same repair. Kris's 3/4 ton flatbed truck didn't have room or thick enough springs to carry an air compressor, a welding generator, and the feed he needed to haul out to his cow herd. Necessity being the mother of invention, he mated a compact welding unit to an air compressor. This unit saved weight and space, and over the course of more repairs, the efficiency of the first Air N Arc became apparent.

Neighbors noticed and commented. Some asked Kris to build one for them. Kris, to his pleasure, found himself doing more manufacturing than farming. He enjoyed crafting additional units and designing different options to satisfy his customer's requests. Air N Arc manufacturing was off the ground. A move of his business to Hiawatha, KS provided more manufacturing options and a more central access to market. Innovative and creative designs have become the trademark of his well-crafted manufactured machines.

Air N Arc, with Kris at the helm, continues to refine the basic concept and to design new products for a constantly expanding market. "I and my Air N Arc employees," says Kris, "are committed to producing space saving and user friendly power source systems. We will cater to each customer's needs while maintaining manufacturing excellence in each system that we produce."
