In 1956, Erling Berner brought European technology to the United States and formed Berner Industries, the foundation of Berner International, which is the first manufacturer of air curtains (also known as air doors) in the U.S.A.

In the late 1970s, Berner took the lead in approaching the other air curtain (air door) manufacturers to work with A.M.C.A. (Air Movement Control Association) to successfully develop a certified method of rating air curtain performance. Product performance is critical, and at Berner, we believe our customers deserve the best assurance that our products perform as stated.

That dedication has led to an important milestone: having air curtains listed as suitable replacements for vestibules by the IECC and the IgCC — good news for anyone looking to improve comfort and energy efficiency while maintaining efficient use of space.

Berner International’s continual growth is through the leadership of Georgia Berner, president of the company since 1984. Entrepreneur of the Year is just one of the many awards Mrs. Berner and her company have received during her 30+ years of leadership. Under her direction, Berner has become an employer-of-choice in the region.

In business for 60 years, Berner has a reputation for customer service, innovation, aesthetics, quality and performance, and is proud to be a leader in systems that save energy and create healthy, comfortable environments.
