GenAir UK Ltd, incorporated in April 2007, is a specialist in industrial compressor rentals. The company operates one of the largest fleets in the UK, with over 1,000 compressors, desiccant dryers, and ancillary products. It offers a range of diesel, electric, and oil-free air compressors, including bespoke machines designed and built in-house. GenAir serves a wide variety of markets, including aerospace, petrochemical plants, refineries, civil engineering, and manufacturing.
The business model focuses on providing flexible rental solutions with 24/7/365 nationwide service from depots in the West Midlands, London, and Scotland. This includes installation, commissioning, and maintenance by their own team of engineers to ensure high efficiency and minimal downtime for clients. The company also offers options for outright purchase or long-term rental with service plans. GenAir emphasizes a high-reliability model, boasting over 99% uptime across its fleet. In early 2025, the private equity firm STAR Capital acquired GenAir UK to support its continued growth. The management team, including co-founder David Timmins, has extensive experience in the compressed air market.
