"Air Power Sales and Service's customer-first approach and strong presence in the market expands and secures our sales and service capabilities to our current and future customers in this important region. It's also another step forward in our strategy for growth as a total seamless solutions provider."

With locations in Longview and Euless, Texas, Air Power has been a Sullair distributor for more than 35 years. Current employees and leadership will remain in their positions and the company will continue to sell Sullair brand air compressors and related equipment while providing service to a variety of compressed air systems.

"As a Sullair distributor for over 30 years, we could not be more excited for the acquisition of our company by Hitachi Global Air Power," said Craig Peterson, owner, Air Power Sales and Service.
