In the fast-paced world of industrial equipment and tools, achieving long-term success requires an unprecedented level of dedication that extends to customer service, industry expertise and a commitment to offering only the highest quality products. For over 40 years, Alcorn Industrial has built a strong reputation for trust and reliability, bolstered by its long-standing partnership with Hunter Industrial.
A Family-Owned Industrial Supplier
Since 1977, Alcorn Industrial has been proudly owned and operated by Eric Alcorn and his family. Specializing in tools, specialty equipment, and repair services for material handling, storage, and manufacturing companies, Alcorn Industrial offers a diverse product lineup—from heavy-duty shelving and shop supplies to ergonomic workstation fans and safety gear. The company plays a vital role in helping businesses enhance efficiency and productivity. Reputation is everything, which is why Alcorn Industrial prioritizes selling products they can confidently stand behind.
Shared Values with Jan Fan Industrial Fans
Alcorn Industrial’s commitment to quality aligns perfectly with Jan Fan, making it a natural addition to their product offering. Jan Fan products are known for their exceptional reliability, which Alcorn has leveraged to provide customers with a dependable solution.
“Once we started using and selling Jan Fans, we realized they are truly a superior product,” says Joe Barnhorst, operations manager at Alcorn Industrial.
Since 1958, Jan Fan has been recognized as the gold standard in the automotive and heavy industries. Beyond automotive assembly lines, Jan Fans are now used in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, aviation, agriculture, and warehouse distribution. What began as a small Michigan-based company has grown into a trusted nationwide brand, and Alcorn Industrial knows their customers can count on Jan Fan—just as they trust Alcorn. In fact, Jan Fan’s growth trajectory from a small operation to a big player has closely mirrored Alcorn’s, which further lends to the special partnership.
The Value of Repairable Air Circulators
While durability is a key feature, the Alcorn team finds that Jan Fan's true advantage shines when the fans need servicing. Designed for easy maintenance, Jan Fan products come equipped with hinged safety guards, oversized cages, front-access blade hubs, and readily available parts, making upkeep hassle-free.
Even the most reliable equipment can face occasional wear and tear. Jan Fan’s emphasis on repairability ensures that customers can quickly replace parts like motors or fan blades without having to invest in a whole new unit, ultimately saving both time and money. For Alcorn, offering products that customers can depend on reinforces their reputation as a trusted supplier.
Alcorn and Jan Fan’s Ongoing Partnership
As Alcorn Industrial continues to grow, this partnership with Jan Fan has only strengthened. With recent expansions into Ohio and Pennsylvania, Alcorn is focused on building new relationships and delivering the same high-quality products and service that their customers have come to expect. The team is confident that new clients in these regions will appreciate the reliability and repairability of Jan Fan fans just as much as their long-time customers.
“Our end users really do love their Jan Fans,” adds Joe Barnhorst, operations manager at Alcorn Industrial.
