Fluid-Aire Dynamics, a leader in industrial compressed air sales and service throughout the Midwest, is celebrating 40 years of excellence in the industry. Over the last four decades, the company has grown from a single shop in northern Illinois to an industry powerhouse with service centers in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Detroit, San Antonio and, most recently, Philadelphia.
Kevin, Derrick, and Brad Taylor are leading Fluid-Aire Dynamics through its next phase of success and growth by staying true to the principles laid down by their father 40 years ago.
Founded by Garth Taylor in 1983 in Franklin Park, Illinois, Fluid-Aire Dynamics built its reputation in the compressed air industry on quality, service and expertise. It is now under the leadership of the second generation of Taylors: Derrick Taylor, Director; Kevin Taylor, General Manager; and Brad Taylor, Sales Engineering Manager. With more than 2,600 active customers across six states, Fluid-Aire Dynamics provides expert sales, service and emergency repair for industrial compressed air systems. With the recent acquisition of The Titus Company in Pennsylvania, they now also have extensive nitrogen generation expertise on staff.
Founder Garth Taylor said, “Never in my wildest dreams 40 years ago was it thought that FAD would be where it is today. This is largely due to the energy and passion my sons have poured into building the business and the PneuTech brand of compressors, dryers, aluminum air piping and accessories. This is also due to the dedication and hard work of every employee within the company, to whom I extend a hearty ‘Thank You’ to each one.”
That commitment has been instrumental in the company’s growth over the last 40 years. Industrial compressed air users know they can count on Fluid-Aire Dynamics for their knowledge and expertise, whether they need compressed air system design and engineering or maintenance service and repair. Fluid-Aire Dynamics services all major makes and models of industrial air compressors, dryers and accessories and even offers 24-hour emergency repair with a four-hour service guarantee for active customers.
Their growth has accelerated over the last 15 years through expansions and acquisitions in key metro areas, including Compressed Air Systems in Milwaukee in 2017, Compressed Air Concepts in Minneapolis in 2020, and Philadelphia-area The Titus Company in 2023. Since 2016, the company has grown from 23 Chicago-based employees to more than 100 employees across their market areas, earning them a place on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list for four years in a row. With demand for compressed air systems and services remaining strong, that growth trajectory doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon.
Kevin Taylor said, “Our journey over the last 40 years has been truly amazing, and sometimes it feels like we are still just getting started. While our core values and growth are always at the forefront, the continued focus on the customer's experience by our team is the only way we will continue to succeed. With 40 years behind us, we will continue to use our experience, knowledge, and passion to facilitate the growth of the company in the years to come."
