Detroit Air Africa Series – Built for Africa, Powered by Gratitude
Originally crafted as a heartfelt thank-you to our clients on our 20-year anniversary in April 2024, the Africa Series was designed to celebrate not only our journey, but also the incredible continent and people who helped us get there. What began as a limited-edition promotional range has evolved into a game-changing line of air compressors tailored specifically for Africa’s small-scale manufacturers and entrepreneurs.
Engineered with affordability, durability, and reliability in mind, the Africa Series isn’t just another low-cost compressor—it’s a robust, hardworking solution designed to grow with your business. We refused to compromise on quality, and the result is a range of machines that deliver big performance for small budgets.
The Africa 40HP to 150HP models have an updated design that includes significant changes to the powertrain and cabinets. We focussed on improving durability and reliability across the range and did this by upgrading the electric motor to handle higher swings in unstable power supplies, and upgrading the drive unit on VSD equipped models to compliment the upgraded motors. Cabinets were given a little more space to make repairs and servicing more efficient. Finally new artworks and colour styling refreshed the range with a clean minimalistic modern style.
Demand for the Africa Series skyrocketed, creating a whole new market segment—and we rose to meet it by investing in smarter production technologies and expanding the range to meet real-world needs.
Today, the Africa Series stands as a symbol of our commitment to empowering local businesses, promoting African industry, and delivering true value for money. We’re proud to be the market leader in Southern Africa—and we’re just getting started.
Thank you for 20 years of support. Thank you, Africa. Here’s to the next 20.
