Our Journey: From a Simple Question to Industry Leadership

DIRECTAIR® began with one simple customer request: "Can we just buy the air?"

In the 1990s, manufacturers were burdened by the high costs and complexity of owning compressed air equipment, from breakdowns and rising energy bills to emergency repairs and mounting capital expenses. One customer wondered if there was a better way. That question sparked an industry-defining ideas: deliver compressed air as a utility.

Our team engineered a new model from the ground up; one that eliminated ownership, replaced uncertainty with guaranteed performance, and aligned air supply with modern production demands.

Three decades later, DIRECTAIR®, an OTC Industrial Technologies product, remains the pioneering partner that redefined compressed air delivery and continues to lead the industry forward.
