Aireko

What Aireko does

Aireko is a Mexican private industrial equipment company headquartered in Naucalpan, Estado de México, operating in the compressed air and vacuum systems sector. The company functions primarily as the exclusive distributor of Sullair products in Mexico, designing, manufacturing, selling, and servicing oil-free compressors, air dryers, and vacuum systems for industrial customers. Its end markets span mining, construction, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage, with named engagements including Unidad Minera Charcas and the Tren Maya federal infrastructure project.

The business model is a direct B2B enterprise sales model using quote-based pricing, with revenue generated across three streams: new equipment sales (Sullair core line plus complementary technologies), service and maintenance contracts on the installed base, and parts and consumables supply. Product activity in 2024 included the launch of the SULLAIR TS SERIES oil-free compressor line and the E1035H electric portable compressor, signaling an extension of the portfolio toward electric-powered and portable equipment.

Aireko has built a complementary partner ecosystem beyond core Sullair distribution, including Aircom (pneumatic networks), VP Instruments (energy management), and Holtec Gas Systems (nitrogen generation), which broadens the company's ability to deliver integrated compressed-air and gas solutions. The Sullair AirLinx remote management capability provides baseline IoT/monitoring functionality on deployed equipment.
