What Republic Pneumatics does
Republic Pneumatics is a factory authorized stocking distributor and service center for pneumatic, liquid, and gas conveying systems used in industrial and mobile bulk product handling applications. Operating from a single facility in Sellersburg, Indiana, the company sells equipment including blowers, compressors, vacuum pumps, hydraulic drive systems, filters and silencers, liquid control meters, and power transmission components. The product portfolio spans major OEM lines including Gardner Denver, Blackmer, Roper, Elmo Rietschle, Wittig, Fruitland, Moro, Masport, and Solberg, giving Republic Pneumatics one of the broader authorized line cards among regional distributors in the Midwest/Louisville corridor.
The company's revenue model combines one-time equipment sales with recurring service revenue from installation, custom fabrication (in-house machine shop), certified factory warranty repair, and turn-key engineered package systems (e.g., Hydrapak) built to customer specification. Pricing is quote-based, mixing off-the-shelf inventory with custom-engineered solutions. Distribution is primarily direct via a regional sales team, supported by a website product catalog, phone sales (800-472-8228), and email inquiries. The customer base spans fleets, OEM accounts, truck and trailer dealers, and end-user industrial operators across chemical/pharmaceutical, food grade/sanitary, petroleum/LPG, construction materials, and general industrial tank truck and trailer verticals.
Republic Pneumatics is a privately held subsidiary operating under Eagle Investment Partners, employing approximately 13 people, and claiming over 40 years of engineered solutions experience in the bulk product conveying industry, with technicians carrying over 50 years of combined service experience and 40+ years of combined installation experience.
