History of Whelen Engineering Company, Inc. 1952 George W. Whelen invents the first rotating aircraft “anti-collision” beacon in his garage in Deep River, Connecticut. 1984 Whelen moves from Deep River, Connecticut to its current Corporate Headquarters in Chester, Connecticut. 1991 The New Hampshire plant expands to house plastic 1987 injection molding equipment. A second manufacturing plant is added The tool and die machine shop begins as a servicing shop in Charlestown, for parts before they are run in molding. Today, 90% of all New Hampshire. molding tools are made in-house from...

All Whelen products are designed, manufactured, and assembled in our Connecticut and New Hampshire facilities. Printed circuit boards are manufactured in-house. Whelen’s PCB shop is the the only environmentally friendly printed circuit board manufacturing facility in North America with zero hazardous emissions. Surface mount technology deposits electronic components onto PCB using robotic nozzles. All testing and programming of PCB is done in a continuous automated line. Plastic injection molding equipment manufactures all plastic parts, from optical grade polycarbonate to thermally conductive...

Hard coating technology utilizes an automated line where UV, abrasion, and chemical resistant coating is applied to all plastic lensing. Vacuum metalizing technology coats all reflectors with a thin layer of pure vaporized aluminum within a sealed chamber. Bringing this process in-house yields a 10% increase in light output due to improved surface quality and purity. Sheet metal fabrication utilizes lasers to create brackets and a wide variety of metal components used in almost every Whelen product. A five axis laser is used to cut complex metal parts that do not come in a flat sheet. Powder...
