Sellers Manufacturing Co

With an expanding and innovative young nation as the backdrop, telephones, the electric grid, natural gas and automobiles were taking hold. “Kelly” Sellers entered the gas-fired boiler business with a unique idea for a breakthrough immersion-fired highly durable boiler/burner “turnkey” unit.

As the U.S. prepared for war in the early 1940’s, the government drafted Sellers for their unique technology and expertise that was not available from others. Over 10,000 large volume immersion-fired integrated water heaters were produced in record time by the original Sellers company for Army installations throughout the United States. Many of these installations are still being used today.

In 1947, as pipelines spread natural gas throughout the south, the company moved to its present home in Danville, Kentucky, about 30 miles south of Lexington. Here the company has achieved consistent excellence in the design and construction of rapid-response large volume water heaters, steam boilers, deaerators, boiler feed systems and related equipment.
