Corporate History

Sidney Schonberger founded the Adams Manufacturing Company in 1945 and first manufactured gas conversion burners. After his death in 1960, his widow Catherine became the president and in 1964, Sidney's son Marty began working for the company. By 1979, he had worked in all phases of production and became the president. Adams Manufacturing is still a family-oriented business: Marty is still president; his son Marty Jr. became vice-president in 1992 and his daughter Sydney began working in the accounting department in 1995.

In 1964, the company began a series of new product development and acquisitions that led to significant expansion. This began with the production of Cleanaire Electronic Air Cleaners (which led to the purchase of Humidaire in 1984). They now produce a complete line of humidifiers under the Humidaire brand name. In 1986, Adams purchased the INTERburner assets from the Sloan Valve Company. They also purchased Magic Chef's gas fired unit heater business in 1988. In 1992, Adams expanded its production facilities to 75,000 square feet to accommodate the newly purchased Dornback Furnace and Foundry Company. Adams Manufacturing added the low profile gas unit heaters from Uni-pak in 1999, the Sunheat low intensity infra-red heater in 2000 and the high intensity infra-red heater in 2001.

In 2003, Adams Manufacturing received a grant from the National Oil Research Alliance to develop a high efficiency oil-fired furnace. They completed the project and now manufacture a condensing oil fired unit heater with efficiencies as high as ninety-nine percent.

Product Lines

Adams Manufacturing makes four series of high efficiency furnaces: Highboy, Horizontal, Lowboy and Counterflow. All of these are adaptable for summer air-conditioning units as well.
