EXAIR: Removing Concerns for OEMs. 

Published on by John BallLeave a comment

Are you an OEM?  Some of the largest concerns for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are supply chain interruptions, quality issues, confidence in suppliers, and pricing.  In today’s market, changes occur frequently, and you need to rely on a supplier that can meet those changes.  With pneumatic blow-offs, static elimination, atomizing nozzles, pneumatic conveying, and electrical panel cooling, EXAIR can be that supplier for you. 

Since the establishment of EXAIR in 1983, customer satisfaction, quality, and quick turnaround have always been the cornerstone of our business model.   And with this type of business model, our company continues to grow each year.  Now EXAIR is recognized as a brand of excellence worldwide.  With thousands of products in stock, we are able to ship with over a 99.9% on-time delivery.  EXAIR offers free expert technical advice and shares solutions to pneumatic issues through EXAIR Blogs, application library, and social media. You can watch a quick video about EXAIR below.

Many companies are global and have plants and facilities throughout the world.  If details like cost savings, safety, increased productivity, problem-solving, and energy efficiency were shared with affiliates, it would be very beneficial for everyone.  It can help to grow profits, protect employees, improve throughput, and save energy, which will help to protect the environment.  Since EXAIR is a leader in these areas of compressed air products, we can help you and your partners with pneumatic solutions. EXAIR sells direct in the USA, and we have over 50 distributors located throughout the rest of the world.  If we do not have a distributor in your area, EXAIR does have an International Department that can assist you directly. 

Why would you rely on lesser component parts that could affect your brand?  This could be due to late deliveries, quality problems, and/or issues in the field.  EXAIR can save you and your customers that headache.  If you or your affiliates use compressed air to cool, dry, clean, convey, vacuum, or remove static electricity, EXAIR can improve these processes.  With our large inventory, technical support, and quality design, we can accommodate the excellence that you expect from your supplier.  You can contact us by phone at 800-903-9247, Chat, or email Application Engineers.  We will be happy to assist you.

March is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month.

Published on by Jordan T ShouseLeave a comment

March is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about cerebral palsy (CP), celebrating those who live with it, and advocating for better support and research. As someone personally touched by CP, I find this month incredibly meaningful. My son, Lincoln, was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy at age one, and our journey has been one of challenges, triumphs, and a deepened appreciation for the strength found in our community. This month, marked by the vibrant color green and the #GoGreen4CP movement, encourages us all to learn more about CP—a neurological condition affecting movement and muscle tone—and to push for inclusivity in education, healthcare, and beyond.

For me, the #GoGreen4CP movement is more than just a campaign; it’s a reflection of our daily life. Lincoln’s form of CP is the most severe form of spastic CP and affects all four limbs, the trunk, and the face, making mobility a hurdle, but his determination shines through every step he takes with his walker or pedal on his adaptive bike. I’ve written about this before in my work here at EXAIR, where I’m fortunate to have a platform that allows me to share personal stories like ours. CP affects over 1 million people in the U.S., with around 10,000 new diagnoses each year, often due to brain development issues or injuries before, during, or shortly after birth. This month, I’m reminded of how far we’ve come—thanks to therapy and support—and how much more we need, like increased research funding, which groups like the Cerebral Palsy Foundation tirelessly advocate for.

Speaking of EXAIR, February holds its own significance for us here at EXAR with Founders’ Day on February 21st each year. It’s a day to celebrate the vision of our company’s founders, who built a culture of innovation and community that I’m proud to be part of. This year, as we marked Founders’ Day just a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but connect it to the spirit of resilience my family and so many others honor in March. At EXAIR, we design engineered solutions to solve problems, much like the adaptive tools and therapies that help Lincoln navigate his world. The overlap of these two moments—Founders’ Day and CP Awareness Month—reminds me how a supportive workplace and a passionate community can intersect to make a real difference.

So, how can you get involved this March? Wear green to spark conversations, share stories on social media with #GoGreen4CP, or donate to organizations driving CP research and support like the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. For my family, it’s also a chance to thank those who’ve walked alongside us—therapists, nurses, friends, and even my EXAIR colleagues who’ve cheered Lincoln on. National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month isn’t just about awareness; it’s about action and connection. As Lincoln and our family continue this journey, I hope you’ll join us in shining a light on CP, not just this month, but every day.

Be kind and love one another!

Founder’s Day 2025

Published on by Kirk EdwardsLeave a comment

EXAIR celebrates Founder’s Day each year on February 22nd (or the closest working day) in order to commemorate the birthday of our founder, Roy Sweeney.  He founded the company in 1983 and drove EXAIR to become the strong, successful and innovative company that it has over the years.  Roy led EXAIR for 33 years.  Today would have been his 91st birthday. EXAIR has a long average tenure and many of us in the building remember working side by side with Roy. It’s hard to believe that he’s been gone for almost nine years, but his commitment to helping others lives on through all of us.

We make this day a celebration and a day to mark our ongoing commitment to the service of others, in keeping with the values that Roy and his wife Jackie felt (and feel) very strongly about.  They both worked hard to support many social causes and events here in Cincinnati and set a great example of what being engaged in your community looks like. We continue to look outside our company, outside ourselves and outside our immediate surroundings, to do what we can to improve the world around us.  And we urge others to do the same.

Our day includes a company meeting to recognize Roy, his generosity, and the genesis of Founder’s Day. We take the opportunity to highlight and encourage our entire team to find a place to volunteer that is close to their heart. We are diligent to have resources available for all to research volunteer opportunities and learn about the vast needs of others. Roy Sweeney was also a veteran so having lunch catered by Misison BBQ, who themselves donate to our military and local first responders, also honors Roy.

This year we have selected these organizations, who help our local communities, to receive donations as part of our Founder’s Day celebration:

DAV
Supporting disabled American veterans and their families.

Freestore Foodbank
Supplies 33 million meals per year to those in need.

Lighthouse Youth and Family Services
Supporting their Safe and Supported program for LGBTQ youth.

Cincinnati Works
Partners with all willing and capable people living in poverty to assist them in advancing to economic self-sufficiency through employment.

Wave Pool
Wave Pool is a contemporary art fulfillment center where experimental art connects the community and creates change.

Bethany House
Helps homeless and at-risk families with solutions to achieve housing stability and long-term self-sufficiency.

To further encourage ourselves to participate and engage with our communities, EXAIR has also established an Employee Volunteer Program that enables every full-time employee with at least 90 days of service to volunteer with organizations of their choice during the normal work week with full pay by EXAIR.  It is important to be as open as we can to allow any of us to choose a volunteer opportunity that resonates with each of us. We urge everyone to work collectively with organizations in our community to improve the lives of those in need.

As we celebrate Founder’s Day today, we wish Roy a happy birthday.  We miss him.  We remember what he and Jackie did (and do) for all of us and for countless others.  And we pledge to continue his commitment to helping those who need it.

Happy Founder’s Day 2025 from everyone at EXAIR!

Sincerely,
Kirk Edwards, President
