Freedom Compressor, a growing force in the air compressor service and repair industry, has acquired Wright Air, a respected leader in the Sullivan-Palatek market for more than 30 years.
Freedom Compressor has moved into Wright Air’s former facility, and is committed to carrying forward the company’s legacy of high-quality diagnostics, repairs and customer service for Houston and the surrounding communities.
The acquisition also expands Freedom Compressor’s portfolio of trusted partners, adding Sullivan-Palatek to an already strong lineup including Tamsan-USA, Hertz Kompressoren, Beko Technologies, Dryline Technologies and Prevost USA.
“As a veteran-owned business, we operate with the same values instilled during my service in the United States Air Force: integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do,” said Sam Curiel, President, Freedom Compressor, and U.S. Air Force veteran. “Our goal is not to make a sale and disappear. Our goal is to provide every customer with a real diagnosis and real solutions for their air compressor system.”
The Freedom Compressor team brings decades of collective experience in the air compressor industry and continues to expand its workforce to better serve the community.
The company offers a full suite of air compressor services, including new air compressor sales, expert repairs performed by a skilled team dedicated to quality workmanship, professional air-piping installation and a range of rental units sized to meet diverse operational needs.
Driven by a commitment to reliability and honest diagnostics, Freedom Compressor pairs hands-on expertise with advanced technology. Modern diagnostic tools, data-driven analysis and predictive maintenance capabilities allow the team to identify issues with greater precision and help customers avoid costly downtime.
“I’d like to give a very special thank you to our team, our vendors and our mentors. Thank you for taking a chance on me and my dream. Much love,” said Curiel.
