Reno Air Compressor, a new independently owned compressed air business, has opened in Reno, NV, with a clear mission: Restore an old-school, customer-first approach to the industry, the founder says.
The company sells and services PET, oil-flooded and oil-free air compressors, along with vacuum pumps and nitrogen systems. Customers range from local manufacturers, mining and automotive shops to facilities relying on clean, reliable compressed air systems. Beyond equipment sales, the company emphasizes hands-on service and a creative problem-solving approach to foster long-term relationships.
Larry Wilson, Founder and CEO, brings more than four decades of direct experience in the compressed air field. He began at age 10, cleaning air compressor parts, and was working as a full road technician by 15. Over the following years, Wilson accumulated 20 years as a technician, 10 years in service management and 10 years in special projects, energy initiatives and general management. This depth of practical knowledge shapes every aspect of the new company.
Reno Air Compressor is built on customer-first principles and intends to remain a customer-first organization. Wilson and his team focus on listening first, diagnosing accurately and delivering solutions fitting the specific application – whether that means recommending the right oil-free machine for a clean-air process, optimizing an oil-flooded system for energy efficiency or integrating vacuum and nitrogen equipment into an existing plant. Local ownership means faster response times and the flexibility to tailor service agreements.
The company is already accepting service calls and equipment inquiries from businesses throughout the Reno-Sparks area and surrounding Northern Nevada communities. Wilson expressed genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity: “We are excited to serve our customers with the type of service they deserve.”
