Workshop and air compressor are born together: ask your mechanic, you’ll have proof about that. The owner of a workshop relies on air compressors for specific work needs. Standard stationary air compressors grant performative source of air together with a higher working pressure. 

Despite automotive sector has grown a lot during last Century, vehicles building process has substantially remained the same. From small to bulky, all the parts pass through and are assembled on manufacturing lines by specialized workers. Air compressors are central both in the car assembly process by providing power to operate dedicated instruments and for maintenance of finished vehicles. Indeed, compressed air enhances blasting, sanding, degrease operations and all the painting phases (primer, base paint, enamel, polish and refinement).
