About Us - CRU AIR + GAS

What does value look like to your business?

Over the last 20+ years, the CRU AIR + GAS team has asked this question to every contact we’ve met.

It could be a Chief Engineer at a new lead that has called us in because their PET Compressor keeps shutting down, and their current contractor cannot solve the issue. It could be the CFO at a food processing plant looking to free herself of the price-gouging bulk nitrogen contract.

It could be an automotive manufacturing company that calls at 3 am looking for an emergency service call because they aren’t getting enough pressure in the plant.

Or it could be the Operations Manager at a water bottling facility interested in manufacturing their 1-gallon PET container in-house to help maximize profitability on a new contract they’ve secured.

WE’RE READY TO EARN YOUR TRUST

All these clients come to CRU AIR + GAS for three main reasons

Reliability

The foundation of our success is that customers can rely on us and our products to run every day to help reach their manufacturing objectives. CRU AIR + GAS has highly skilled technicians trained by almost every OEM in the marketplace. We have a live operator 24/7, ready to answer your calls, and you’ll typically get a call back in 5-10 minutes. Your business is that important to us. When it comes to our products, we realize that hundreds of equipment manufacturers are flooding the marketplace. We have chosen to partner with OEMs whose values align with ours and have remained strong, reliable partners with them for decades.

Efficiency

At their core, compressed air and industrial gases are essentially power utilities. What is often overlooked is that these utilities are costly. The products that we offer are industry leaders or best in class regarding energy consumption efficiency and efficiency of time to operate. We are also aware that downtime or unplanned production interruptions are highly costly, so our team members are very efficient with their time when working on-site. Your business doesn’t just deserve this – it demands it.

Flexibility

Manufacturers know this better than any other business – not every solution can be found in a book. Not everything happens on time and as expected. So, our team is flexible and adaptable to your changing requirements. We’re there if you need a job done in the middle of the night. If you need flexible payment terms, we want to help. Are you looking for a blow molder to produce every container in your library from a single machine? We’ve got you covered. Look no further if you need a partner who will always be ready to adapt to your changing needs and requirements.

So, in the end, it’s not about us at all – CRU AIR + GAS is your partner for all things AIR + GAS.

We are Efficiency You Can Count On.
