Aeropres Corporation

What Aeropres Corporation does

Aeropres Corporation, incorporated in 1973 in Louisiana, manufactures and distributes high-purity gases used as aerosol propellants, foam blowing agents, petrochemical solvents, refrigerant working fluids, and custom gas blends. The company operates an industry-exclusive redundant supply chain across 5-6 strategically located U.S. manufacturing facilities (Sibley, LA; Hillsborough, NJ; Manhattan, IL; San Dimas, CA; Morris, IL; Victoria, TX), each equipped with independent post-loading purity testing. Production technology relies on proprietary blending equipment and software, with logistics operated through a proprietary Super Barrel Tanker fleet delivering approximately 20% higher payloads than industry-standard tankers and a telemetry-enabled LPG tank-level monitoring program supporting vendor-managed inventory for customers. Aeropres is described as the largest aerosol propellant company in the U.S. with over 50 years of operating history and the highest market share in each of its core markets.

The company serves four B2B verticals: (1) aerosol manufacturers (personal care, household, industrial), supplied with high-purity propellants and custom blends; (2) petrochemical producers, supplied with special-grade isobutane and propane as carrier solvents that extend catalyst life in polyethylene production (named customer INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA); (3) foam producers, supplied with propane, butane, and pentane blowing agents (named customer Republic Plastics); and (4) refrigeration and HVAC OEMs, supplied with refrigerant-grade propane/butane and the Fysis™ line of UL-certified natural refrigerants (R290, R600a) for ACR systems. In March 2026, Aeropres launched the AeroNu™ renewable propellants platform, led by Nu A-108™ renewable propane (drop-in replacement for conventional propane) and Nu rDME developed in partnership with Oberon Fuels, addressing brand-driven ESG mandates and EPA HFC phase-down pressures.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (a) hardware sales of propellants, blowing agents, solvents, and refrigerants delivered in cylinders, tank trucks, railcars, and isotanks; (b) custom/toll gas blending services (Aeropres blends third-party-supplied materials into specified compositions); and (c) technical services including reformulation consulting, LP gas storage tank installation, and quality-control training. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical for renewable product lanes. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account representatives, quote request forms, and a direct plant-level phone and email infrastructure ([email protected]). The company holds ISO-9001:2015 certification and has received the Union Pacific Pinnacle Award for hazmat transportation safety in 12+ consecutive years through 2025.
