In 1975, TLT-Babcock, Inc. was formed in the United States as a joint venture between Babcock & Wilcox Co., a
subsidiary of McDermott International and Turbo-Lufttechnik GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Babcock AG. The initial
goal of this new company was to market axial flow fans to the North American utilities, although shortly thereafter,
TLT-Babcock also began to offer a full range of heavy duty centrifugal designs for many industries.
In October 1988, Deutsche Babcock AG fully acquired TLT-Babcock in order to strengthen and expand its position
in the North American and certain specific international markets.
In the following years, TLT-Babcock enhanced its position as a leading supplier of high-quality large and
medium-duty fans and expanded its range of products to include equipment for ash/material-handling applications.
On February 19, 2003, The New York Blower Company, Willowbrook, IL. acquired TLT-Babcock from Babcock Borsig
AG (formerly Deutsche Babcock AG). NYB is the leader of centrifugal and axial fans and blowers for applications
in the commercial HVAC market as well as the industrial, environmental, chemical, and manufacturing market.
On February 20, 2009, TLT Babcock sold its interest in TLT – CO-VENT to CO-VENT Fans, Inc. of Ontario, Canada. Subsequent to the transaction, CO-VENT is no longer affiliated in any respect with TLT-Babcock.
