Selecting the right companies to distribute our product has been the foundation of our success. To build a world class UK distribution network, Avelair needed to select only the best compressed air engineering companies.
Over three decades of partnership with Avelair
Avelair Compressed Air Solutions was established in 1993 by Jean and Brian Wood with the goal of becoming the leading British air compressor manufacturer. To achieve this, they identified they needed to work with a trusted group of specialist engineers to achieve their objectives. Cambs Compressors were one of the first compressed air solutions providers to be appointed as an official distributor.
Brian Wood worked in compressor manufacturing company in Germany prior to leaving, returning to the UK and setting up Avelair. This background meant he understood that the Avelair experience needed to be one focused on solutions and service. That ethos stands as true in 2025 as it did back in the 90’s – even with today’s prevalence of online distributors with cheap imports. The quality of the installation, getting the correct specification, and understanding the customers business – these factors were key to prescribing the best fit solution.
