Located in Upstate NY, we’re a team of experts and industry leaders reimagining the world as a better, safer place.

We’re at the forefront of the indoor air quality industry and we continue to develop revolutionary solutions that make a real impact.
Our History The TeamHealthWay’s founder and CEO Vincent Lobdell grew up in Pulaski, NY. He’s made it his company’s mission to reimagine the world as a better, safer place. His journey of searching, developing, and perfecting air purification systems started in 1981. He used and tested just about every technology from UV to HEPA and then, in 2010 through a United States Military Grant, he developed HealthWay’s very own patented DFS Technology. Today, DFS Technology is recognized as an industry-leading technology and is used around the world. Bringing clean air to more people and creating a healthier indoor environment to life has always been his passion.
As a giveback to his own hometown, Lobdell purchased and completely renovated the abandoned Ontario Iron Works facility, saving it from the wrecking ball. Built in the 1830’s, once a landmark and most important manufacturing center in the 19th and 20th century, the facility was forced to close due to competition and big-business.
Today, it is HealthWay’s headquarters – a bustling center of American innovation and manufacturing that provides jobs, attracts out-of-town interests, and infuses energy into the area. Over the past 20 years, the company has continued to evolve and grow to employ over 200 people worldwide with the mission of reimaging the world as a better, safer place. With the vision of Lobdell and team, HealthWay Family of Brands is now one of the global industry leaders in air purification.
When HealthWay makes plans for the future, it has Pulaski’s future in mind as well. As a customer, partner, distributor or vendor – not only are you contributing to our mission, but you’re also investing in the well-being of a small town and improving lives right here in small-town USA.
Every single day and in everything we do – we are reimagining the world as a better, safer place through innovative air purification solutions. We are committed to being a leader in indoor environmental solutions, to never stop seeking new and improved ways to maximize efficiency, respect our environment, and ensure our indoor air is as pure as it can possibly be.
