History

Founded in 1901 as the Liberty Manufacturing Company to produce boiler cleaning equipment based on the patents of William Swan Elliott, the company incorporated as the Elliott Company in 1910. Elliott Company moved to the former Clifford-Capell Fan Works in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, in 1914 and has maintained a factory and offices there since.Elliott Web History
/ref> Elliott purchased the Kerr Turbine Company in 1924 and Ridgway Dynamo & Engine Co. in 1926. These acquisitions allowed Elliott to begin manufacturing turbines and compressors and enter the rotating machinery market. In the 1930s and during World War II, Elliott supplied the United States Navy with some of the electric motors and generators used in fleet submarines under the name Elliott Motor Company. Elliott's entry in the '' Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships''Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships
shows its name abbreviated as Ell, and may be the source of a common misspelling of the company's name as ''Elliot''. The Elliott company's broader war contribution included turbines, generators, blowers, ejectors, heaters, and other warship and engine parts. In 1941, Elliott became the first American manufacturer to build a turbocharger for diesel engines. Elliott would go on to produce more than 40,000 diesel turbochargers. In 1957, the Elliott family sold the company to Carrier Corporation, which, in turn, was sold to United Technologies Corporation in 1979. In 1962, Elliott developed their Plant-Air-Package (PAP) line of products which was sold to Fusheng Group of Taiwan in 2003, and became the FS-Elliott company (Not affiliated with Elliott Company).
