HPC KAESER prioritises three things, so we can provide the long-term value that customers can’t find anywhere else.
In today’s economic climate, businesses are doing everything they can to reduce their costs.
Some of the ways they can do this include investing in equipment that lasts, prioritising energy efficiency and keeping production downtime to a minimum.
HPC KAESER can help in all these areas, when it comes to compressed air equipment, because we prioritise:
- Reliability and longevity
- Energy efficiency
- Nationwide service support
In fact, they are the fundamental principles we are renowned for. And it’s why customers stick with us for the long-term.
Let’s dig a bit deeper into all three:
Reliability & Longevity
A customer rang HPC recently to enquire about replacing his HPC KAESER SK25 rotary screw compressor, which he has had for 38 years. It was still running fine, with its original motor and airend. In fact, he plans on keeping it as a backup.
This is by no means unusual. Many of our customers are still running the same compressor they bought 25+ years ago – and frequently with original components.
How is this?
Quite simply, we don’t believe in doing things on the cheap. And we don’t believe in planned obsolescence. HPC KAESER compressed air equipment is built to last. We’re famous for it.
Some compressed air equipment brands appeal to customers because they are the cheaper option. But a few years down the road, customers find they are forced to replace their equipment, not least because it can’t be repaired.
Unlike other manufacturers, which prioritise repeat business by setting nominal product lifetimes, HPC KAESER’s business model and design briefs ensure that our machines will be with our customers for the long haul, providing you with genuine value for money.
Energy Efficiency
The UK currently has the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Finding ways to save energy, then, matters more than ever.
One way to do this is to look at your compressed air supply. Often referred to as the “fourth utility”, compressed air typically accounts for more than 10% of a company’s energy bills.
However, it can sometimes be as high as 30%.
We make energy efficiency a priority and our market-leading energy efficient compressed air equipment ensures you benefit from significant energy savings year after year. In fact, we save our customers up to £25k a year in energy costs – in some cases, much more than that.
How do we do this?
It’s thanks to our market-leading Specific Power.
Specific Power is the ratio of total energy used by the compressor and its compressed air output (at a stated pressure). The lower the Specific Power of a compressor, the greater the efficiency, and the higher the energy cost savings.
Many other brand manufacturers entice customers on the pretext of cheaper priced compressors. While this may offer an initial outlay saving, customers will end up paying many times more over this difference in unnecessary energy costs.
As you can see from the table below, HPC won’t be beaten on value when it comes to energy cost savings.

Local Expert Service Support
Unlike some compressed air equipment manufacturers, we don’t operate via a centralised call centre system, staffed by people who have no idea who you are.
We serve customers via a localised network of HPC Centres and HPC Authorised Distributors, staffed by people who actually know who you are.
As a customer, when you contact HPC or any one of our Distributors, you will always be talking to highly informed specialists who immediately understand your needs.
You will also know that help is always close at hand. We won’t be sending out engineers from a centralised location, miles away from where you are. We are on hand to support you in your local area, wherever you are based in the UK, so we can get to you whenever you need us to.
And with our 5-Year HPC No Quibble Warranty, in the unlikely event of a breakdown, the fault will be rectified quickly, expertly and without cost.
In a world that is increasingly become less personal, we believe in building and nurturing relationships with customers in their local areas.
As the saying goes, we are big enough to serve but small enough to care. And it’s another reason why we won’t beaten on value.
Think long term. Think HPC
Too often customers are misled by focusing only on the capital cost of compressed air equipment and not their compressed air lifetime costs.
HPC and its Authorised Distributor network will show you how you can save money on your compressed air lifetime costs and offer support on capital purchases ensuring we won’t be beaten on value.
