The origins of CompAir can be traced back to two British companies, Holman and BroomWade, with over 200 years of experience in the marketplace. The brand is now owned by Ingersoll Rand.
Click here to download a pdf of the book "A Recorded History of CompAir BroomWade". This was written in 1998 to celebrate the Centenary of BroomWade (1898 - 1998).
As explained in the book, CompAir was actually formed when Holman merged with BroomWade to produce "an organization with the resources to compete effectively in world markets.... the name of the group was the International Compressed Air Corporation. Four years later the name was changed to CompAir, the title acquired from the BroomWade apprentices, it was title of their magazine. They were paid the handsome sum of £50 for the name..."
This book provides a compelling insight into the early days of the compressed air industry and the way the company evolved over the years. There is some rare archive video footage of the factory at High Wycombe UK from the late 1930's where HSB as he was known (see below image left) would have been at the helm of the company, it shows the manufacturing of compressors on the shop floor.
