Air Compressor Servicing Carmarthen
Control Gear was founded in 1973 when John Morris and Ron Bevan decided to dedicate themselves full-time to their burgeoning business of designing and building custom machines.
Their dedication set the foundation for what is now one of the UK’s largest fluid power companies.
More than 50 years later, Control Gear continues to provide the same level of personalised, bespoke service. Operating across the UK, including in Llanelli, we cater to every sector that depends on compressed air. With extensive skills and experience, we are a trusted partner for a simple spare part supply or the complete design and installation of cutting-edge air compressors, ensuring our clients can access clean, efficient, and reliable compressed air solutions.
Air Compressors Carmarthen & Parts
Possibly Wales’ oldest town, Carmarthen’s long history has seen it grow from an agricultural centre, into an industrial heartland during the 19th century, and it is now taking steps into new economic markets.
Agriculture remains the most important sector of the Carmarthenshire economy, with the pastures in the area supporting the herds of sheep and cattle. It is even, surprisingly, a leading producer of mozzarella! Compressed air is vital to food and beverage processing, and is used throughout the industry, from preparing ingredients, to cleaning work surfaces, and packaging, all helping to ensure food reaches customers in the best possible condition.
Our service team of FGAS-certified engineers help in that process, ensuring that our clients’ equipment always meets the rigorous standards required within the food sector. Our service plans can cover all your needs, working around your production and manufacturing schedules to ensure that your business’s efficiency is never compromised by your air compressor.
Carmarthen and Compressed Air
We’re proud to work with some of Carmarthen’s best companies. Reflecting the area, many of our clients come from a range of sectors. Some, like Castell Howell Foods — Wales’ leading independent food service wholesaler — trust us to provide the high-purity compressed air needed to work with food and generate nitrogen to flush packaging.
And it’s not just humans we help feed, we help Cowindale Feeds to make sure that animals are fed, too!
Others, like the Pontrilas Group, need powerful and reliable air compressors to drive their equipment, ensuring their pallets and packaging get out to their customers on time. One of the biggest industrial uses of compressed air is driving equipment. From moving things along a conveyor to keeping power tools running, it’s critical that the air compressor is reliable, whether it’s for a constantly running conveyor line or an on-demand tool.
We are also proud to work with some of the region’s cutting-edge companies, like The Magstim Company, a supplier of transcranial magnetic stimulation devices. A relatively new form of treatment, researchers have found the technique can be effective in treating a range of mental health and neurological conditions.
Whether it’s putting food on your table or medical innovation, we’re proud to be able to help these companies, flourish and grow.
Why Work With Us?
From Industrial Might to Natural Delight: The Evolution of South East Carmarthenshire
Tinplate, Steel, and Coal flourished during the second half of the 19th Century, with air compressors playing a pivotal role in their operations. South East Carmarthenshire became a highly industrialised region, and Control Gear was at the forefront of servicing and installing these essential air compressors.
Due to significant competition and location, however, all these industries faced challenges. Prior to the industrial revolution, Carmarthen was one of the most populous towns in Wales. Today, Agriculture, Forestry, and Tourism are the main employment sectors in the area, but the legacy of air compressors and their impact on the region’s industrial growth remains evident.
