Welcome to Applied Systems Northwest

ASO was founded in 1995 by Allen Sanders. Allen was a York International employee for 22 years, living in Dallas, Texas. Through Allen's connection with York's senior management, he learned that York was looking for rapid growth in the Oregon & Southwest Washington region. Allen accepted the challenge that the Pacific Northwest market offered. Allen founded ASO while still living in Texas and began commuting from Dallas to Portland to promote chillers in the booming semiconductor fab construction industry. Allen permanently relocated to Portland later that year, and used York as the catalyst to build a full service representative firm.

As the Northwest construction industry boomed, ASO became a significant factor in the mechanical community. Allen wisely chose to align ASO with manufacturers that produced high quality products, strengthening our position come bid day. Since 1995 we have added several sales and support staff members to the firm. In 2000, ASO purchased the Baltimore Aircoil Company cooling tower business unit from Climate Conditioning. BAC represents the continued growth with market leading products and instant name recognition. We continue to research various factories to see who fits into the ASO mold, and what products will strengthen our overall market presence.

In 2006, ASO hired Jim Krause to support the air distribution products of Nailor industries. ASO is looking to add further staffing and grow this portion of our business.

Through 2007, Ray Tatum's retirement and continued growth of the company brought Doug Giese to our doorstep. Doug brings another P.E. to our office, with years of experience in the air handling business, having worked for Tom Berger years ago. Doug is blossoming into a fine salesman, and excellent addition to the staff.

2007 was a big year for ASO, continuing to grow, adding personnel and finalizing a long standing agreement between the share holders, to establish a transition plan for the future of the business. In 2007, Applied Systems Northwest was organized, as the business ownership is being transitioned to Tom Berger and long time share holder, Daniel Mitchell. We are excited to be expanding our regional role in the community and establishing a plan to successfully take ASNW into the future. The concerns about the ownership transition are now behind us, with only a bright future for the company. A little planning goes a long way.

Our focus is on promoting high quality, value added products to end users and engineers within our region. Our strengths lie with the people at ASNW and the ability to apply our products which offer some of the best energy performing alternatives in the industry. By browsing our site, and visiting with our staff, you'll find that our organization is dedicated to serving our customers well and maintaining the highest level of professionalism within the industry.
