fabco-air
A mainstay of the pneumatics industry for over 60 years, Fabco-Air has devoted decades to helping our customers build the best possible machines. While we are primarily known for compact pneumatics that deliver high forces, we've also produced an array of quality grippers, valves, sensors, slides, actuators and more. Our catalog provides simple solutions for difficult applications.
Founded in 1958 by Alfred W. Schmidt, Fabco-Air originally opened for business in Cleveland, Ohio. The Original Pancake® Air Cylinder debuted and quickly became the leading product in the compact air cylinders market, a position it would retain for the next 60 years and beyond. This cylinder is often imitated but never matched, and it continues to offer the same customization options, features and strength that it did from the moment it was invented.
In 1970, Fabco-Air moved its operations to Gainesville, Florida. Since then, the factory has expanded to over 61,000 square feet and supports every aspect of the business, from production to research and development and much more. As the company grew, so did Fabco-Air's list of products. In 1986, Fabco-Air's products made their debut on the silver screen in the movie "Short Circuit"as the neck of the Johnny 5 robot. In 1996, Fabco-Air acquired Mills' Specialty Products, adding slides to our already growing list of pneumatics. We now offer a complete line of pneumatic products: air preparation, slides, grippers, rotary actuators, crimpers, valves and a comprehensive line of air cylinders.
In 2017, the company was featured on "The World's Greatest," a television show that highlights the top countries in various industries, cementing our top position in the world of pneumatics. With expansion comes new opportunities for customization. Although Fabco-Air's list of products is extensive, there still may be applications that require something more than the standard offering. For those who need a customized product, Fabco-Air is ready, willing and able to tailor any product to a customer's unique specifications. In fact, 45% of all our sold products are a custom deviation from a standard product.
