About TLT-Turbo

With over 145 years of company tradition and experience, we and our engineers strive to be the leading global supplier of mining, industrial and power ventilation products and solutions. We have developed patented high efficiency designs that allow our products to deliver superior performance while incurring less wear and tear as they are more suited to their harsh and abrasive operating environments. This results in a reduction of CO2 emissions, extensive energy cost savings, longer mean time between failure and less required maintenance while still providing superior ventilation performance for our clients.
