About Us

AirTest Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: AAT) was founded by George Graham in 1996. He knew there was an opportunity in making the workplace safer and more efficient with gas sensors. Our first few years were devoted to the development and sale of portable belt worn methane sensors. From there, we continued to pursue cutting edge technologies with a focus on unique and diverse sensors. Acquiring technologies to detect combustible gasses and CO sensors for parking garages formed the foundation for our business today.

Mike Schell, our CTO, joined AirTest in 2003. Mike brought his invaluable expertise and experience with him from his history of developing technologies in the industry. Working for a company called Telaire with its founder Jake Wong, they developed the first commercial NDIR CO2 sensors. Mike was co-developer of the Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) protocol in 1993 that was adopted by ASHRAE in 1998.

In 2003, AirTest became a distributor for E+E Elektronik based in Austria. This enabled us to complete our suite of sensor technologies and contributed to our ability to provide the comprehensive level of service we are able to offer today.
