Airtek

What Airtek does

Airtek Ltée is a privately held Canadian industrial air compressor manufacturer and pneumatic tool wholesaler established in Montreal, Quebec in 1970. The company designs and assembles custom-built industrial air compressors in electric and gas-powered configurations, ranging from 0.5 HP to 30 HP with tank capacities from 8 to 240 gallons, alongside a specialized line of ASME- and CRN-certified fire sprinkler compressors for dry-pipe and pre-action fire suppression systems. Its core competency is a six-stage build-to-spec manufacturing process in which compressors are configured to exact customer requirements (tank capacity, horsepower, voltage, phase, pressure, compression stage) rather than pulled from shelf inventory, with every unit undergoing final pressure testing before shipment. The company also distributes a broad catalog of third-party pneumatic tools, impact sockets, air preparation equipment, hoses, fittings, and components sourced from brands including Honda, Parker, Coilhose, Gison, Ushio, Ajax, and Fu Sheng.

Airtek operates a dual-channel go-to-market model anchored by a national Canadian dealer network that receives special reselling pricing through account login access, complemented by a direct Shopify-based e-commerce storefront for standard products and custom orders. Same-day shipping and delivery within 48 hours across most of Canada, with 2-day delivery in the Greater Montreal area, are core service commitments supported by large local inventory of pumps, motors, valves, and other components. Customer segments span heavy industry, construction and trades, fire protection contractors, automotive, manufacturing and fabrication, healthcare and data centers, and industrial equipment dealers, with named customers including Jobsite Industrial Rental Services, Fastenal Canada, and Ultratorq.

Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales across four streams: industrial air compressors, commercial and industrial pneumatic tools, air compressor components and accessories, and fire sprinkler compressors. Compressor unit pricing ranges from approximately $1,700 to $4,700 USD, with air tools spanning under $50 to over $1,800 USD. The company holds no patents, has no disclosed funding, operates with 1-10 employees, and has no announced M&A or leadership changes in the available data. Its primary differentiators are Canadian manufacturing heritage, regulatory certifications for fire protection applications, and delivery speed relative to larger industrial competitors.
