Sullair has purchased its Salt Lake City-based distributor, Compressor-Pump & Service.

CPS had served as an independent Sullair distributor since 1991, where it specialized in the sales and service of compressors, blowers, pumps, vacuum pumps and related equipment.

“CPS is a loyal and long-time Sullair distributor with a commanding market share,” said John Randall, president and CEO of Michigan City-based Sullair. “We are committed to providing CPS customers with unwavering and uninterrupted support from Sullair, from the names and personnel to which our customers have grown accustomed.”

CPS is headquartered in Salt Lake City and is well-positioned to service customers throughout its 83-county territory which spans Utah, northern, central and western Nevada, southeastern Oregon, central and southern Idaho, and southwestern Wyoming, Sullair said. CPS will continue to operate its current name while servicing, selling and renting Sullair industrial and portable compressed air equipment.

CPS was founded in 1984. All 33 CPS employees, including co-owners and managing partners Rex Feller and Eric Nelson, will remain with the company through the transition.

“We are proud of what we’ve achieved so far but it’s time for the company to begin its next chapter,” Feller said. “CPS’ legacy of providing superior compressed air sales and service capabilities will continue as it becomes part of the Sullair family.”
