200,000 sq. ft. Spencer headquarters in Windsor, Connecticut houses product design, development, testing and manufacturing
departments as well as administrative, sales and engineering offices.
F or over a century, The Spencer Turbine Company has specialized in supplying air moving equipment for both
pressure and vacuum systems.
For over 30 years, Spencer has been supplying Tubing and Fittings for various air moving applications. We
are experienced in central vacuum cleaning, pneumatic conveying, low pressure air and process material handling
system applications, just to name a few. Conduits for liquid lines and specialty Fittings are some of the more
unusual applications for Spencer.
