Fulton's History
The Fulton Companies is a global group of manufacturing entities backed by over 60 years of research, innovation, and experience. Fulton is building on a tradition of success and dedicated to our core purpose of improving life through heat transfer solutions.
Lewis J. Palm was no stranger to boilers having helped to start Cyclotherm Boiler (Horizontal firetube boilers) in the late 1930's with his brother, William and other investors. In 1949 Lewis started Fulton Boiler Works, Inc. in Oswego, New York with his invention of the vertical tubeless boiler as the only product. The tubeless boiler gained rapid acceptance as the premier small steam boiler for applications such as baking, sterilizing, and dry-cleaning.
Fulton's reputation for excellent customer service as well as high quality manufacturing has been well established over the years. To date, over 100,000 vertical tubeless boilers have been shipped worldwide, with many of the original boilers still in operation.
Six decades after our start, our founder's values still guide our business approach. The companies are still owned and directed by the Palm family with long term thinking a key strategic advantage. We continue to grow through great customer service mixed with innovative and high quality products.
