“The primary things that attracted my interest in TEMP-AIR were the quality of the people, the quality of the products they manufacture, and the exceptional service that TEMP-AIR provides. It is my hope to build upon the tradition at TEMP-AIR of attracting quality people, manufacturing quality products and giving our customers outstanding service,” said Korn.
