Compressed Air Centre: Innovation, Reliability, and Industry Leadership
Since 1992, Compressed Air Centre (CAC) has been a trusted partner for businesses reliant on compressed air systems. Initially established to deliver high-quality compressed air solutions, CAC has evolved into a market leader, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness across industries from manufacturing to food packaging. Under the leadership of Serge Santos and co-director Mavis Dede, who took the helm seven years ago, CAC has modernised its operations and reinforced its role as a trusted advisor to its customers.
As the exclusive distributor of HPC Kaeser compressors across Southwest London, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and the Isle of Wight, CAC provides end-to-end compressed air solutions—including system design, installation, maintenance, and energy optimisation. Unlike competitors that simply supply equipment, CAC works as a strategic partner, offering tailored solutions to maximise efficiency, minimise downtime, and support long-term business growth. With an industry-leading five-year warranty on parts and labour and 24/7 emergency support, CAC ensures clients can operate without disruption.
Beyond customer service, CAC is shaping industry standards through its active role in the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS). Serge Santos’ appointment to the BCAS board in 2023 highlights the company’s influence in driving best practices, safety, and sustainability across the sector.
CAC continues to invest in innovation, developing remote monitoring technology to enhance system efficiency and launching a hire fleet solution for flexible access to premium compressed air systems. Since expanding operations into Berkshire and Oxfordshire in 2021, CAC has strengthened its market presence, providing even greater support to businesses in these regions.
By combining expertise, innovation, and a customer-first mindset, CAC is more than a supplier—it is a long-term strategic partner, empowering businesses to optimise performance and future-proof their operation
