Indoor air quality company GPS said on June 13, 2022 that it has started making products in the USA. Its new CI-2 compact ionizer is the first GPS-designed product built here.
The Charlotte, North Carolina company said the CI-2 is made through a manufacturing partner in Mississippi using domestic and global components. Days earlier, the company had changed its go-to-market name from Global Plasma Solutions to GPS Air.
About the CI-2
- It measures 4.2 by 1.1 by 2.6 inches, small enough for heat pumps, PTAC units, ductless mini-splits, ceiling cassettes and fan coils.
- It works in systems up to 2,400 CFM and has a self-cleaning cycle with carbon fiber brush emitters.
- GPS said the device is certified to UL 2998, a zero-ozone emission standard.
The company’s wording is a qualified claim. GPS says the product is made in the USA with domestic and global parts, not that every part is USA-made.
“GPS is delighted to begin offering industry-leading devices that are manufactured in the United States.”
Charlie Waddell, GPS founder and chief technology officer
