Our History

Tornado Industries - A Tacony Company

Founded in 1927 by Adam Breuer, Sr., Breuer Electric Mfg. Company began in a small facility at 852 Blackhawk Street in Chicago. Originally building and selling portable electric blowers for cleaning electric equipment, Breuer soon began designing and producing commercial and industrial vacuum cleaners, hot air blowers, electric insecticide sprayers, and dust collectors. It was at this time that the brand name "Tornado" was introduced. In 1938 the company moved to 5100 N. Ravenswood on Chicago's North Side.

World War II saw most of American industry converted to production in support of the war effort. For its part, Breuer Electric made precision parts for ordinance used by the Army, Air Corps, and Navy. Tornado equipment also was popular for maintenance operations in ship yards and bomber factories. Tornado hot air blowers were employed to repair bullet and flak holes in airplane windows.

Following the war and conversion to peacetime construction, the company added numerous products and entered the floor maintenance industry by acquiring the Fay Floor Machine Company. In 1977, the company moved to a location on Chicago's Northwest Side near O'Hare International Airport.
