Dill Air Controls Products

What Dill Air Controls Products does

Dill Air Controls Products, LLC is a privately held US manufacturer of fluid control and tire valve hardware founded in 1909 and headquartered in Oxford, North Carolina. The company designs, manufactures, warehouses, and ships its entire product portfolio from a single vertically integrated North Carolina facility, holding ISO 9001:2015 certification (renewed August 2024 through 2027) across design, manufacturing, verification, and delivery operations. Its core product categories span tire valves (snap-in, clamp-in, rubber, brass), valve cores for refrigeration/fuel/aircraft/tank applications, automotive and commercial TPMS sensors including dual-frequency and Bluetooth aftermarket systems, professional tire service tools and gauges, large bore and OTR components for mining and construction equipment, and A2L-refrigerant-compatible HVAC products.

The business operates a direct sales model supported by inside customer service, technical sales, engineering, and quality teams, with channel reach extended through memberships in the Tire Industry Association, North Carolina Tire Dealers Association, Specialty Equipment Market Association, Motorist Assurance Program, and Tire & Rim Association. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales at quote-based pricing — no subscription or recurring software revenue is disclosed. Customer segments are diversified across vehicle service centers and tire dealers (automotive aftermarket), commercial fleet operators, HVAC contractors and refrigeration service providers, and mining/construction equipment operators. In 2024 Dill acquired Exactra, Inc. to expand USA-made manufacturing capacity, and the company has continued to roll out patent-pending service tools (5410 Snap-in Valve Puller, 4501-L Fast-N-Flator XL, 5260 Large Bore Tool Kit) alongside connected TPMS offerings integrated with the Dill TPMS mobile app on iOS and Android.
