COMPANY OVERVIEW

Born out of a need in an underserved market, Aeroturn has been carefully designing, manufacturing, testing, delivering and installing the most well-engineered standard and custom turnstiles in the industry. The company focuses on helping to thwart security breaches in the government, as well as keeping education, industrial, commercial and private sector facilities secure.

Since 2001, the company, headquartered in Oxford, Connecticut, has found success with the help of its extremely knowledgeable and talented engineering staff, who have decades of engineering and design experience in at least 30 different industries far more complex than turnstiles.

Aeroturn products are the most significant advancement in turnstile design since the 1950s.
