Twenty-five years in compressed air. One engineering team.
EMAX POWER is built on twenty-five years of pneumatic engineering in Shanghai, and has supplied distributors in 30+ countries since 2001.
Frank's career in compressed-air engineering started in 1986. He has lived through three generations of compressor architecture, from belt-drive piston to PM VSD rotary screw, and now to oil-free.
