30 Years of Revolutionizing the Compressed Air Industry

The Revolutionary Impact of DIRECTAIR® on Manufacturing

Three decades ago, a simple question changed the landscape of the future of manufacturing: “Can we just buy the air?” This request was the spark that ignited the development of DIRECTAIR® and brought forth a revolutionary change in the compressed air industry.

Today, DIRECTAIR® is the largest compressed air provider in North America and has delivered tens of millions of hours of clean, dry air to nearly 300 manufacturing facilities. Our team is continuously managing the performance of DIRECTAIR® systems 24/7, 365 through our latest technologies and remote monitoring. Our innovative MANAGAIR® system provides comprehensive equipment data and service information allowing our compressor air experts to optimize both predictive and preventative maintenance and when needed our first responder technicians are onsite within hours. Our systems, processes, and our people enable us to guarantee customers receive 100% uptime from DIRECTAIR®.

What is DIRECTAIR®?

DIRECTAIR® is a worry-free, cost-effective, and sustainable compressed air as a utility service that removes the responsibility of operating compressed air systems from manufacturers.

Similar to the way a production facility pays for the gas, water, and electricity they utilize, our FOURTH UTILITYSM compressed air service charges only for the amount of air used.

DIRECTAIR® experts will design, manufacture, install, operate, and maintain a new compressed air system that aligns with an air strategy built specifically for your business.
