Business name: Certified Air Safety.

Owner: Tom Stupfel.

Address: 5512 N.E. 229th Court, Vancouver.

What the business does: Provides consulting, training, repair and calibration services, as well as new equipment and parts for portable and fixed gas-detection devices. Also train and equip personnel in confined space entry safety.

How has the economy affected your business: Certified Air saw a 10 percent reduction in business in 2009. However, the company expects that while companies remain in a controlled cash position, safety is an area that needs to be ongoing and vital. Growth is expected this year due to ongoing maintenance, repair and replacement of equipment.

Greatest challenge: In the five years Certified Air has been operating, it has sold products in all 50 states. The business has sold products online and now the challenge is to bring this experience, expertise and service to corporate safety managers throughout the Northwest.

What’s ahead: In the next few months, the company will be discussing the advantages of doing business with a firm that has the capability of training, repairing and warehousing air-safety products on a local basis.
