Fluidair

What Fluidair does

Fluidair Limited is a privately held UK compressed air equipment specialist headquartered in Bolton, operating as a subsidiary of the TFG Group and serving industrial customers across Lancashire and the surrounding North West counties. The company functions as an authorised main distributor for two established manufacturers — CompAir and Hydrovane — distributing their full ranges of lubricated screw, rotary vane, variable speed, piston, and oil-free compressors, alongside downstream equipment including filters, dryers, condensate management systems, and heat recovery units.

The business combines one-time equipment sales with recurring service and maintenance contracts, professional installation of compressors and pipework, used equipment resale, and short-term equipment hire. A technical field sales team provides on-site advisory on compressed air requirements, supported by trust credentials such as BCAS membership, SafeContractor approval, and Carbon Trust membership. The company is registered in England (company number 06819134) and operates from a single Bolton site.

Revenue mechanics span capital equipment sales, recurring service subscriptions, professional installation fees, and usage-based hire. Customer acquisition is regional and field-driven, with marketing limited to the company website and trade-body affiliations. There is no public disclosure of revenue, headcount trends, or pricing, and no digital or AI-enabled product surface is present in the available information.
