Sullair, a Michigan-based commercial manufacturing company, has announced its purchase of California Compression and CDA Systems in Livermore.

Company representatives have confirmed that all employees are to remain in their respective roles throughout the purchase transition period. Specific terms of the transaction were not disclosed by either party.

Sullair, founded in 1965, has been known for its production of air systems and compressors with manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and China. Sullair's products are used in a variety of industrial categories, including oil and gas operations, construction and food processing.

In a recent press release, Sullair company leadership shared reflections on the acquisition and new facility.

"Sullair is committed to building a customer-forward company and providing our customers with a total seamless solution to their compressed air needs," John Randall, president and CEO of Sullair, stated in a press release.

"California Compression and CDA Systems are well known for their customer service, industry expertise and end-to-end capabilities. Adding these two companies to the Sullair owned-distribution network allows us to better service the evolving needs of both our current and future customers in the strategic Northern and Central California regions," Randall added.

California Compression had served as an independent distributor of Sullair products since 2017. The Livermore business sold and offered expert knowledge of Sullair products.

Scott Gerner, general manager and director of sales at California Compression, also shared his thoughts regarding the purchase.

"Our business was founded on putting the customer first which is one of the reasons our distributor partnership with Sullair was so successful," Gerner said. "As we become a permanent member of the Sullair family we will have even more tools and capabilities at our fingertips to continue to provide the personalized and expert service our customers have come to expect."

The companies are to operate under their own names until the transition is complete to ensure adequate service to the total customer base.
