The Systems Group Launches Systems Cool Air Solutions
The Systems Group (TSG) has officially launched a new division, Systems Cool Air Solutions, focusing on industrial HVAC services tailored specifically for the steel industry. Founded in 1970, TSG has consistently provided innovative solutions for steel producers and is now set to enhance operations in steel mills and metal-related facilities.
Comprehensive Services for the Steel Industry
Systems Cool Air Solutions is designed to respond to the unique demands of steel mill environments. Offering a range of HVAC services, the division will deliver new installations, preventive maintenance programs, and 24/7 emergency response capabilities. All services are specially crafted to meet the extreme thermal conditions characteristic of steel production environments.
At the helm of this new division is Ted Smith, who serves as General Manager. With over 30 years of experience in industrial HVAC leadership, Smith has a wealth of knowledge in managing HVAC operations within steel mills and heavy industrial settings. Kyle Elkins, a University of Arkansas graduate with a strong background in business development and sales in the HVAC industry, joins as Sales Director. Together, they plan to leverage their expertise to provide superior HVAC solutions tailored to steel production needs.
Addressing HVAC Needs in the Steel Industry
The need for specialized HVAC services in steel mills has been echoed in feedback from customers, emphasizing the challenge of finding contractors knowledgeable in industrial HVAC systems. “We kept hearing the same thing from our customers — finding an HVAC contractor who truly understands their environment is harder than it should be. Cool Air Solutions changes that. We're not a commercial HVAC company that occasionally takes an industrial job. Steel mills are all we do,” said Kyle Morgan, President of The Systems Group.
Cool Air Solutions will also provide various services, including:
- - Climate control systems for control rooms and motor control centers (MCC)
- - Climate systems in overhead crane cabs
- - Custom ductwork and sheet metal fabrication
- - Ventilation and exhaust systems
- - Building automation and controls
- - Industrial refrigeration systems
Furthermore, the division will implement comprehensive preventive maintenance programs aimed at maximizing equipment uptime under harsh industrial circumstances. This initiative will significantly benefit steel producers who rely on consistent HVAC performance for operational effectiveness.
Strategic Synergies Within TSG
The establishment of Systems Cool Air Solutions creates considerable synergies across TSG’s multiple divisions. With prior offerings such as Clean Air (Industrial Air Filtration), Refractory Solutions, and Plant Services, integrating HVAC work will enhance overall service delivery in steel production environments. For instance, projects from Clean Air's SMAC (Self-Maintaining Air Cleaner) industrial filtration naturally align with HVAC efforts within the same facilities.
“Every TSG division was built to serve the steel industry, and Cool Air Solutions is the natural next step. When you combine HVAC with our air filtration, refractory, maintenance, fabrication, and construction capabilities, you get a partner that can handle virtually every service need in a steel mill — under one master service agreement,” notes Lee Morgan, CEO of The Systems Group.
Systems Cool Air Solutions will operate from TSG’s regional office in Blytheville, Arkansas, and is capable of deploying service teams to facilities nationwide, further solidifying TSG's comprehensive service model.
Future Growth and Commitment
As a family-owned business focusing exclusively on servicing the steel industry, The Systems Group has expanded to approximately 1,000 employees. With ongoing advancements and the launch of Systems Cool Air Solutions, TSG continues to lead the charge in providing engineered solutions that advocate for safer, more productive operations within the steel sector.
