Compressed Air Industry ENERGY REBATES | 01/09 | Atlas Copco Launches Custom Design Center in U.S. Atlas Copco Compressors has announced the launch of a United Statesbased Custom Design Center, formalizing the specialized compressor solution division that was created through Atlas Copco’s 2006 acquisition of Tide-Air. The new Atlas Copco Custom Design Center, which is based in Houston, Texas employs 25 people who specialize in customizing compressors and packaging solutions of all sizes for special applications. The creation of this division continues the tradition of service that Tide-Air has been providing to customers across a broad spectrum of industries since 1971. “The Tide-Air acquisition has provided tremendous opportunities for us both in terms of our product capabilities and the development of our people, and we felt the time was right to rebrand our business inline with the Atlas Motorized Copco group,” said Rob Ryan, vice president Ball Valves engineered products for Atlas Copco Custom Design. “The talents of Atlas Copco Custom Design combined with the products and worldwide service capabilities of Atlas Copco provide us with a real competitive advantage.” The birth of Atlas Copco Custom Design in the U.S. is the latest in a development of Atlas Copco Custom Design centers across the globe, including locations in the U.K., Belgium, India and Brazil. Atlas Copco Custom Design in Houston will keep the identifier “formally Tide-Air” under its new operating name for the next six to 12 months to help in transitioning from Tide-Air, a highly respected name within the oil and gas industry, as well as other markets.
