Compressed Air Best Practices - September 2008 - (Page 27) Focus Industry FOOD PACKAGING & PROCESSING | 09/08 | How is industry doing in Los Angeles and Orange Counties? Industrial activity in all of Southern California has been strong for us. Accurate Air has experienced record sales and service levels over the past two years. This year has been just as good and we are forecasting strong 3rd and 4th quarters in 2008. The economists, of course, will continue to forecast a recession in 2009. We will just keep focusing on what we do best and we are optimistic about 2009. AAE continues to grow market share due to our investment in customer service and our execution of solid business strategy. Cerritos (bordering LA and Orange counties) is the location of our corporate offices and also our primary material inventory hub for all branches. Most vendors are not located in California and so our Cerritos warehouse operates as a west coast inventory hub for our products. We can get products out to our branches in one to two hours. The Parts Department maintains over $1 million worth of inventory of spare parts. Cerritos also houses full sales and service departments. Our service team is capable of working on all makes and models of air compressors, vacuum systems and blowers. AAE can overhaul and repair large reciprocating, rotary screw, centrifugal, high-pressure and oil-free air compressors. How is AAE’s business in San Diego? It is also very strong. The San Diego area offers a unique blend of industrial and military applications. We support industrial applications including shipyards, biomedical, food and beverage manufacturers, pharmaceutical, electronics and healthcare facilities. Military applications include high-pressure deep submergence, aircraft frame and engine overhaul and testing, base air and onboard ship systems. Imperial County also has vast quantities of agricultural industry, geothermal power generation and mineral mining. The AAE San Diego branch is a full-blown sales and service operation which can overhaul and repair large air compressors of every type. The branch can also do trouble-shooting and repair of complex automation and control panels. The sales department is a very veteran group with a reputation locally for being able to handle the most “technically” demanding projects. The application engineering specialties in San Diego include MILSPEC design and conformance, material fluidization, high purity gas processes, high pressure and breathing air compression and purification, sparging and waste gas compression. www.airbestpractices.com 27 http://www.epiflow.com http://www.epiflow.com http://www.airbestpractices.com
