Mr. Creigh Nickell

Appalachian Electronics Instruments, Inc. was formed in September 1954 by Mr. Creigh Nickell to produce industrial instrumentation - primarily a temperature controller. Since that time, Appalachian has expanded five times into it's current location in Fairlea, West Virginia.  Appalachian's products have been found in commercial, mining,  and textile applications. Each product represents Appalachian's commitment to high standards of workmanship and reliability and has resulted in product lifespans which are measured in decades rather than years. In addition to the hundred of Appalachian products, the company has provided its customers a variety of printed circuit boards, assembled and tested subassemblies, and complete private labeled units. Many company products have been in production, virtually unchanged, for over fifteen years and have enjoyed a reputation of durability, serviceability and reliability. 

AEI, Inc.Due to geographical location, Appalachian has become more or less self-sufficient in its skills and equipment. Not only having complete engineering, design and assembly facilities, Appalachian has machining, sheet metal, welding, painting, silk-screening, photography and printed circuit capabilities. All of these talents and facilities have been orchestrated to enable the company to design and manufacture Textile Quality Control equipment and Mining Support Equipment which are sold worldwide under the Appalachian Logo.
